The long-awaited child poverty strategy has promised more accessible childcare and an end to families being stuck in bed and breakfasts beyond the legal limit, plans the government said would give all children “a good start in life”.
With a record high of 4.45 million children living in poverty in the UK, Sir Keir Starmer said tackling the issue is a “moral mission for me” and described the strategy as one which “sets a new course for national renewal, with children’s life chances at its heart”.
