The Citizens Advice Bureau has published a report on financial, emotional and physical impact of poverty on children.

In June and July 2008, Citizens Advice asked parents across England and Wales to tell us their experiences of struggling to make ends meet, and to show how this impacts on their children. These stories are presented in this report.

It also outlines the steps that are needed if the government is to meet its target of halving child poverty by 2010 and ending it by 2020.

The report can be downloaded from the Citizens Advice Bureau website.
