The Child Poverty (Scotland) Act 2017 aims to measure, tackle and report on child poverty in Scotland.

The Act:

• Sets the Scottish Government targets to reduce the number of children experiencing the effects of poverty by 2030;
• Requires Scottish Ministers and public bodies to create delivery plans and reports to help reach those targets.

This consultation is particularly keen to hear from organisations in the third sector, organisations in the private sector, local authorities, health boards and academics, anyone with direct experience of the implementation of the Act.
