The ongoing cost-of-living crisis has exacerbated existing child poverty issues; more children are at risk of being pulled into poverty, or into deeper poverty, as a consequence. Child poverty is a persistent and serious barrier to children's rights - and more needs to be done to tackle both the causes and impacts of child poverty in Wales.
As such, the Children's Legal Centre Wales and the Observatory on Human Rights of Children - in collaboration with the Children's Commissioner for Wales and Children in Wales - will be hosting a one-day summit on child poverty, aimed primarily at non-governmental stakeholders, but also of interest to policy-makers in government at all levels. The summit will draw on relevant expertise to gain insights into what can be done to address the issue of child poverty in Wales through law, policy and practice.
The Summit is free to attend, will be in Swansea, and is organised by the Children's Legal Centre Wales, the Observatory on the Rights of the Child, the Children's Commissioner for Wales, and Children in Wales.
