The former prime minister has published a paper setting out possible emergency measures to tackle the issue.
Former prime minister Gordon Brown is calling for a multibillion-pound programme to tackle childhood poverty.
He published a paper setting out potential emergency anti-poverty measures including bringing back the Sure Start programme, supporting the low waged and unemployed into better paid jobs, and extending the household support fund. “Coordination and administrative support in a comprehensive and integrated way at the centre of government would be one natural way to arrange this.
“Adequately addressing the scale of the problem requires political will from the very top of Government. “The Government could drive improvements for babies, children and young people today by scrapping the two-child limit for benefit payments and the benefit cap, boosting the child element of Universal Credit and increasing funding for early help services.”
