Together with other members of @endchildpoverty.bsky.social in Scotland, we're concerned current policy won't meet child poverty targets.
We're calling on the newly re-elected First Minister to urgently bring forward a revised child poverty plan.

We welcome the progress made through the Scottish Child Payment. This makes a big difference to families struggling to afford the essentials.
But it’s still not enough to prevent families needing to use a food bank.
