South Lanarkshire Council has been successful in reaching national child poverty targets.
As part of the Scottish Government Child Poverty Act, local authorities and health boards are required to prepare Local Child Poverty Action Reports (LCPARs) to describe the measures taken in the area to tackle child poverty.
South Lanarkshire Council’s LCPAR was presented to elected members on the Executive Committee yesterday (August 24), and the review highlighted successes over the past year in addressing child poverty.
