Child poverty snapshots. The local picture in Wales

Current estimates indicate that approximately one in three children are living in poverty in Wales. Save the Children has developed this ‘Local Snapshot’ briefing to support Local Authorities and Local Service Boards in Wales to discharge their statutory duty to tackle child poverty under the Children and Families (Wales) Measure 2010, which is an inclusive aspect of new local Single Integrated Plans. Data on child poverty at a local level is often difficult to obtain. This handbook is designed to provide a quick reference overview of child poverty collated in an easily accessible and comparable form across each Local Authority area in Wales.
