Anti-poverty strategy

1) Does your council have a written anti-poverty strategy (this may also be referred to as a 'poverty strategy')? This may be an all-age strategy, or one focusing on a specific group of the population, such as a child poverty strategy. If so, please provide a link to the strategy if it is available publicly, or a copy via email.

 

2) If your council does not have an anti-poverty strategy in place, does it plan to develop one within the next 12 months? If so, please provide a link to any public facing document detailing this commitment.

 

3) Has your council voluntarily adopted the socio-economic duty? Please answer yes or no, and provide more detail if necessary. For example, you may answer 'no, but we recognise socio-economic disadvantage as an additional factor in Equality Impact Assessments'.
