Tackling Child Poverty in Hard Times Conference, Crowne Plaza Birmingham NEC
FRIDAY 27 NOVEMBER
*** Early booking discount extension until Monday 9th November***
 
The number of people out of work continues to increase. At the same time, the public finances are coming under increased pressure. These are hard times for families, and hard times for those working to tackle child poverty in their communities.  With the Child Poverty Bill currently before Parliament emphasising the importance of developing effective local strategies to reduce child poverty, this is a critical time to share analysis, ideas, and best practice.  
 
As a key feature of this conference, the government will set out its latest offer of support and its guidance for local partnerships to help them deliver on their forthcoming responsibilities.
 
Keynote speakers include:
 
  • Mark Neale, Managing Director, Budget, Tax and Welfare Directorate, HM Treasury
  • Jack Lee, Deputy Director Regeneration Strategy Local Economic Development and Renewal, Communities and Local Government
  • Councillor Shireen Ritchie, Chair Local Government Association Children and Young People Board.
