13 years ago, Labour promised to halve the number of children living in poverty, and to eradicate child poverty by 2020. Today's news that the number of children living in severe poverty actually GREW in the four years before the recession (potentially the best of economic times) and suggestions that this figure will continue to grow, makes not only worrying news for the Government but for society as a whole.
Is concentrating on the children the best way forward or do we need to concentrate more on the families they live in?
