Families being 'pushed to the edge' by cost of living crisis
Nearly a million children in the north of England are living in poverty, says the reportOn Tuesday, the All-Party Parliamentary Group published a report into child poverty and the cost-of-living crisis.
She said: "Whilst poverty is, sadly, not a new experience for many children in the north, the scale and severity of deprivation is now unprecedented. Families in the north are more likely to be living in poor quality, damp homes. Before living costs started to rise, more than 98,500 homes in the north already had some form of damp and 1.1 million homes in the north failed 'decent homes' criteria.
Prof Kate Pickett, from the University of York, and co-author of the report, said the country risked seeing more children "falling deeper into poverty if measures aren't implemented by government".Recommendations to tackle the problem, contained in the report, include increasing benefits in line with inflation, expanding free school meals to all families in receipt of Universal Credit and boosting support to families who have to use prepayment meters.
