The North East Child Poverty Commission published a new report, ‘No time to wait: An ambitious blueprint for tackling child poverty in the North East’.
Based on extensive new data analysis, brought to life by wide-ranging research we have undertaken with over 150 cross-sector organisations, parents and carers, and young people across our region (as part of which the Child Health and Wellbeing Network kindly hosted an online roundtable last July), our report calls for a ‘public health approach’ to tackling child poverty in the North East – which we believe should be ‘convened, co-ordinated and driven forward by our mayoral combined authorities, but a collective effort in which organisations across all sectors must pull together and play their part’.

An executive summary of the report is attached, and also available here: https://nechildpoverty.org.uk/content/images/uploads/No_time_to_wait_exec_summary.pdf
