Child Poverty Act 2010

The Child Poverty Act 2010 is a UK law aimed at reducing child poverty. It sets out clear targets to cut the number of children living in low-income households. The Act requires the government to produce annual reports on progress, measure poverty based on income and living standards, and create strategies to address the root causes of child poverty. The goal is to improve the lives of children, ensuring they have better access to opportunities and resources, promoting their health, education, and overall well-being, and ultimately breaking the cycle of poverty for future generations.
