Child Poverty Strategy Consultation

The Council has developed a Child Poverty Strategy and action plan to ensure that council services and local partners are working in a joined up way to reduce child poverty in the borough and ensure that today’s children do not become the parents of poor children tomorrow.

The Strategy builds on existing strategies, such as the Regeneration Strategy and the Children and Young People’s Plan, and draws together cross cutting work with the aim of accelerating the pace at which we can lift Haringey children out of poverty.

The strategy identifies four objectives that the council needs to meet in order to achieve a substantial reduction in child poverty. These build on our existing priorities and reflect objectives and recommendations made in the London Child Poverty Commission report.

Consultation

As part of the development of this work we welcome comments and suggestions for future action from members of the Haringey Strategic Partnership, its theme boards and the Youth Council.

Consultation will begin on 25 September 2008 and finish on 5 November 2008. The results of the consultation will be reported to Cabinet in December 2008.

Comments should be forwarded to Zakir Chaudhry on 020 8489 2518 or policy@haringey.gov.uk
