The Minister for Social Justice, Dr Brian Gibbons, has launched a guide to help Communities First partnerships tackle child poverty in their areas.

The guide aims to support Communities First partnerships gain a better understanding of the issues that impact on child poverty and to identify activity that will have a significant impact on the life experiences of children and young people.

The document contains several case studies of projects that have already made a significant contribution to addressing child poverty along with practical advice on identifying groups at risk of child poverty, and working in partnership both locally and nationally.

The guidance is available to download from the Welsh Assembly Government website.
