The Centre for Economic and Social Inclusion ('Inclusion') and the Child Poverty Action Group ('CPAG') have developed this toolkit to help local partners to:

Frame an informed debate on child poverty in relation to employment, income, education, health and social services
Analyse the local child poverty story using the most reliable and comprehensive data sources
Develop a local child poverty target
Ensure that local policies are ‘child poverty-proofed’
Design a multi-themed strategy for achieving this

The Tool Kit includes:

Practical tools such as pre-formatted spreadsheets, policy briefs and check-lists tp help build local strategies
A range of good practice examples from throughout England
A monthly round up of the latest news

We are pleased to also host the Quids for Kids Campaign materials, developed by CPAG and the Local Government Association. A range of materials is available to assist local authorities to conduct benefit take-up programmes including policy briefings and good practice examples, and these can now be accessed from the link on the left.

***The Child Poverty Toolkit is currently experiencing some technical difficulties with the downloadable Data Tools. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and are working to fix the problem.***
