BSL Talks: Tackling child poverty through policies and payments

BSL Talks presented by the Brotherhood of St. Laurence's Social Policy and Research Centre

As part of Anti-Poverty Week, join an expert panel, facilitated by BSL's Dr Dina Bowman, with Prof. Miranda Stewart, National Children’s Commissioner Anne Hollonds and an expert by experience, to explore issues with the current family payment (Family Tax Benefits) system and their impacts on child and family poverty. These payments play an important role in tackling child poverty, but successive changes have undermined their effectiveness, leaving children at risk. We aim to tease out the issues, discuss the impacts on children, and highlight opportunities for change.
