The Child Poverty Strategy sets out how government will deliver on its commitment to tackle child poverty and give children the best start in life across the UK. Shortly after the election, the Prime Minister set up the Child Poverty Taskforce to bring together government and experts who were tasked with exploring how government could use all its available levers to drive down child poverty.

This document sets out how government, working with others, will go about tackling the root causes and alleviate the symptoms of child poverty in this parliament and beyond.
