Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Minister for Social Justice and Equality | Answered on 21/07/2026
We are developing a new child poverty strategy with specific and ambitious poverty reduction targets. In June, I met with the Tackling Child Poverty External Reference Group to hear their views as we commence this work, and we will continue to engage over the coming period to ensure that the views and input from experts in the field are heard and considered as the work develops.
