POLICY & CAMPAIGNS
We are the leading charity working on child poverty in the UK, and have over 50 years of experience and expertise. We build evidence on what causes poverty and the impact it has on children's lives, and then campaign for policies that will prevent and solve poverty - for good.
What we're calling for
In these pages you'll find our briefings and reports on the causes, impacts and solutions to child poverty, and our campaigns that promote these solutions.
The cost of the school day
The Cost of the School Day project helps all children and young people to take part and be happy at school. We work with everyone to make sure money is never an issue.
Secure futures
What does a social security system that provides a secure future for children and families look like?
Early Warning System
Our Early Warning System helps us get a better understanding of how changes to the social security system are affecting the lives of children and families.
Your Work Your Way
Your Work, Your Way is an innovative work support programme for potential second earners from low-income families, helping them overcome barriers to get into work and progress.

We always need people's experiences to show why change is needed.
