A recent consultation from the Department for Education considers strategies for reducing child poverty in the present economically straightened circumstances. Tackling Child Poverty and Improving Life Chances is informed by two recent independent reviews commissioned by the Coalition Government: Frank Field's review of poverty and life chances (which reported in early December) and Graham Allen's review of early intervention (which reported more recently). However, the whole project is tied to commitments under the Child Poverty Act 2010, which requires government to publish a strategy setting out how it will attempt to tackle this issue.
Responses are due in by 15 February 2011.
