1. Stopping child poverty

Child poverty means children living in a household where there may not be enough money coming in from jobs or benefits.

This means it is hard or not possible to pay for basic things like food, clothing or keeping warm.

This policy aims to stop child poverty in Scotland.

The Scottish Government will spend money in lots of ways to support children and help the poorest of families to live better lives.
