Action: Opportunity for sector to feed in to the work of the government's Child Poverty Unit

The Child Poverty Unit established by the government is due to report next Spring. They're seeking input from organisations through the completion of a questionnaire.

• If you would like to share views or evidence about reducing and alleviating the impacts of child poverty generally

• If you would like to share views or evidence about how we could increase incomes

• If you would like to share views or evidence about how we could reduce essential costs
