Councillor Penberthy (Cabinet Member for Housing and Cooperative Development) introduced the report.

The report set out the proposed revision to the Child Poverty Action Plan which sets out four key themes (Education and Transitions, Health, Income and Employment and Partnerships). The themes were derived from the Child Poverty Needs Assessment and to complement this, a Plan on a Page sets out the priorities for each theme with the activities needed to deliver impact.

Following a short debate, Cabinet agreed to approve the proposed Child Poverty Action Plan for 2019-22 and the actions therein.
