Poverty: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department plans to take to monitor the effectiveness of the Child Poverty Strategy.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
We want to see an enduring reduction in child poverty over this parliament as part of long-term, 10-year strategy for lasting change.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, published alongside the Strategy, sets out how we will track progress and evaluate success as part of our ongoing commitment to transparency, accountability and continued learning.
