The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether the Child Poverty Taskforce has had discussions with the Department for Education on family hubs.

Answered by Alison McGovern

The Ministerial Child Poverty Taskforce is co-chaired by the Secretaries of State for Work and Pensions and Education. It has met nine times to discuss the critical issues that drive child poverty. One such meeting in January focused on the role of local services in reducing poverty, including family hubs.

The Taskforce will continue to explore all available levers to drive forward short and long-term action across government to reduce child poverty, including family hubs.
