We can help journalists find information for child poverty related stories. See some key facts and figures.
We may also be able to arrange for you to speak with one of our policy or welfare rights experts for more detailed enquiries.
We can provide advice to journalists on finding case studies, but are rarely able to directly provide case studies.
If you're in Scotland, we recommend that you contact Poverty Alliance or One Parent Families Scotland.

CPAG is the host organisation for the campaign to End Child Poverty - a coalition of over 100 organisations from civic society including children’s charities, child welfare organisations, social justice groups, faith groups, trade unions and others, united in our vision of a UK free of child poverty.
