Our Child & Family Poverty Survey is answered by practitioners and professionals who collectively work with a minimum of 110,000 families and their children across Wales.
Each year we produce a report based on the findings to understand how they are being used. Your feedback is very important to us and the quality of the report. Our aim is to make the report as useful as possible and your feedback will help to inform this. Please provide your feedback and thoughts.
Latest figures show that 28% of children in Wales are living in poverty. Children are said to be living in poverty if they live in families with an income below 60% of the median income. Poverty can have a devastating effect on a child’s life chances, having a negative impact on their education, health and overall wellbeing. Their future housing and employment prospects can also be negatively impacted upon.
Children in Wales continues to work to prevent and reduce the levels of child poverty, and mitigate the impact on children, young people and their families.
