Lanarkshire MSP backs charity's warning that cost of living crisis is 'catastrophic' for children

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’.
