HomeReview on poverty and life chances
Summary: Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that Frank Field MP will lead an independent review on poverty in the UK and what the Government can do to improve the lives of the least advantaged people in our society.
The main aims of the Review are to:
- examine the case for reforms to poverty measures, in particular for the inclusion of non-financial elements
- generate a broader debate about the nature and extent of poverty in the UK
- explore how a child’s home environment affects their chances of being ready to take full advantage of their schooling.
- recommend potential action by government and other institutions to reduce poverty and enhance life chances for the least advantaged, consistent with the Government’s fiscal strategy.
