 Manifesto to eradicate child poverty
Ending Child Poverty: A Manifesto for Success was launched on 18 March 2009 – the tenth anniversary of the Government's pledge to eradicate child poverty in a generation. It makes a strong moral statement on how the UK should value children and put their needs first – and sets out the ten practical steps towards a society free of child poverty.
