Lanarkshire MSP Monica Lennon has called for immediate action from the UK and Scottish governments to tackle the cost of living crisis following the release of a ‘heartbreaking’ briefing from Save the Children.
The charity’s ‘Protecting Children in Scotland from the Cost-of-Living Crisis’ report lays bare the impact the crisis is having on families across the country.
Including real-life examples, it warns that if solutions are not implemented urgently which match the scale of the crisis, the immediate impacts on children could be ‘catastrophic’.
