The commissioner of children has warned some youth England A “almost living inDecanian Level of poverty“As a new report shows” real difficulties “facing some families.
There were some examples given by young people to review the commissioner in black mold in a bedroom and the commissioner in mice, as the government prepares a child poverty strategy in the autumn.
The latest official estimate, from the year to March 2024, suggests that the UK had 4.45 million children living in poverty.
While some feel a feeling of shame on their situation, Dame Rachel de Suja said that it is “a society among the big and decision makers who should be ashamed of the fact that children do not have enough money”.
A mob of campaign groups has said that the new strategy of the government should have a commitment to remove two-child profit limits.
Seema, which was implemented under conservatives in April 2017, prohibits child tax credit and universal credit (UC) to the first two children in most homes.
Organizations working in the region argue that 109 children in Britain are pulled into poverty throughout the day and an estimated 350,000 children would be immediately removed from poverty if it was scraped.
But comments by Education Secretary Bridget Philipson The weekend has expressed concern that the policy cannot be overcome amid financial pressures after a U-turn on welfare reforms.
Ms. Philipson said that the decisions to spend the welfare reforms after water have become “difficult”.
It was pressurized whether the possibility of profit cap is now slimmer, Ms. Philipson said with the BBC on Sunday with Laura Kunsberg: “The decisions taken in the last week decide, the future decisions are difficult.
“But all that said, we will see it collectively in the context of all the methods that we can remove children from poverty.”
By the end of this Parliament (2029/30) from about £ 2.6 billion to £ 3.5 billion, the cost of scraping the policy is anticipated.
The Dame Rachel-was commissioned to complete its report to feed the government’s work in the office area-when “there is no quick improvement to eliminate child poverty”, it feels that it is “very clear that any hair poverty strategy should be built on the foundation of scrapping a two-child limit”.
He said that a new approach is required that “stops bypassing children’s voices”, saying that “only by listening to children, and acting in response, will we get closer to solving those problems”.
The Commissioner said that in recent years he has seen changes in children’s comments, given that the issues traditionally seen as “adult” concerns are “eagerly felt by children, who face their parents’ concerns and their struggles: they work hours, they work, the houses that they live and the ability to eat on the table”.
He said: “The children shared the annoying accounts of difficulty, some in the dichensian levels of poverty.
“They do not talk about ‘poverty’ as an abstract concept, but are not about things that most people consider basic: A safe house that is not full of mice or not full of mice, is quite large with a bed, which is capable of being capable of being able to be able to be able to be able to be done in the school, which is very large with a bed, which is a ‘luxury’ food, homework, heating, heating, and wash your friends in the bathroom. With. “
“Appreciating some positive steps by the government to get more money in the pockets of families, he urged” bold, practical measures that break the link between a child’s background and their opportunities “.
The commissioner’s report, based on the experiences of 128 children across the country between January and March this year, mentioned several concerns, including quality, healthy food and lack of living in tight and poor conditions.
Along with making calls to eliminate the limit of two-children profit, Dame Rachel urged a commitment to a so-called “triple-lock” to increase the benefits related to all children, to ensure that families are not being kept in temporary beds and breakfast houses, which are included in all schools as well as better security measures. Initiative.
A government spokesperson said: “We are firm to reduce child poverty. We have announced a new £ 1 billion package to improve the support of the crisis, including the most poorest children to ensure that funding to ensure that there are no hunger out of period time.
“It comes with the expansion of free breakfast clubs, invests £ 39 billion in social and affordable housing, increases national minimum wages and supports 700,000 poorest families by presenting a proper repayment rate on universal credit cuts.
“As part of our plan for change, the child poverty taskforce will publish an ambitious strategy later this year to ensure that we will distribute fully funded measures that deal with structural and root causes of child poverty across the country.”
