"No wealthy nation that is intent on growth can continue to have a child poverty rate this high. Child poverty is not bad luck, it is driven by systemic failure and political decisions," said Meghan Meek-O'Connor, highlighting the urgent need for government action to address child poverty.
"If a child lock had been put in place at the same time as the pensions triple lock in 2011, 345,000 fewer children would be in poverty today. If the two-child limit and benefits cap were not introduced, this figure would be 690,000," illustrating the potential impact of such a policy.
