Description
This revision of the Child Poverty Strategy for Scotland builds on the actions already taken under the 2011 Strategy.• We continue to aspire to a Scotland where no child is disadvantaged by poverty
• We continue to focus our efforts on tackling the underlying causes of poverty relating to material resources and children’s outcomes
Although progress has been made since 2011 against the targets set out in the Child Poverty Act 2010 (the Act), there remain far too many children in Scotland living in poverty and there is concern that progress is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain.
