Congratulations @johnswinney.bsky.social. We look forward to continuing to work with you to progress our shared priority of eradicating child poverty. It is the actions of this government that will determine whether we meet the 2030 targets - what a legacy this will be #NoLimitsToChildhood.
Today is the day🗳️

We recognise the progress made through the Scottish Child Payment & the commitment to babies. These measures are making a difference.
But too many families are still struggling, & the current plan lacks the scale & urgency needed to meet the 2030 child poverty targets. (2/3)
How we talk about child poverty matters.
That’s why our #ChangingTheStory project @jrf-uk.bsky.social is so important - a guide shaped by parents with lived experience to help change the narrative around child poverty in Scotland.

No Limits to Childhood ❗️
Alongside @jrf-uk.bsky.social, @cpagscotland.bsky.social, @povertyalliance.org, @opfs.org.uk @aberlourcharity.bsky.social, @trusselluk.bsky.social, we're concerned the latest Scottish Government child poverty plan doesn't go far enough 👇
🧵(1/3)
We fully agree with young people, in this important new @savechildrensco.bsky.social & @youngscot.bsky.social research, that tackling child poverty has to be the top priority for @scottishgov.bsky.social in its first 100 days.
Alongside other anti-poverty charities in Scotland we're extremely concerned by the latest tackling child poverty delivery plan from the Scottish Government. 👇
@jrf-uk.bsky.social @opfs.org.uk @trussellscot.bsky.social @savechildrensco.bsky.social @cpagscotland.bsky.social @povertyalliance.org
Along with other members of @endchildpoverty.bsky.social in Scotland we are gravely concerned current policy won't meet child poverty targets, and call on newly re-elected FM @johnswinney.bsky.social to urgently bring forward a revised child poverty plan see tfn.scot/news/campaig...
