Child Poverty

Child Poverty

Small Girl

It is unacceptable that, in Scotland, the wealth of a child's family should determine their chance of enjoying the kind of positive future that should be their right.

The Scottish Government has a new level of ambition for Scotland and is determined to address the root causes of poverty once and for all, and to bring about the change that our nation and our communities need.

We want to create a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish, through increasing sustainable economic growth.

We are determined to right the wrong of child poverty, and rectify a situation and ensure that everyone can share in our country's increasing prosperity.
