Following the Chancellor’s announcements made in today’s Spring Statement we are gravely concerned for the families we support. Families are already struggling, and the announced changes will have a catastrophic impact on them.
Recent analysis already shows that the Government’s announcements on welfare will not only make families worse off but will also push 50,000 children into poverty.
We remain deeply worried over the impact (or lack of) of the upcoming Child Poverty Strategy and the difference, if any, it will make as a result of the Government’s approach to families in need.”
