Scotland is on course to miss legally-binding child poverty targets by a wide margin, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation warns.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation has warned that Scotland is on course to miss legally-binding poverty targets by a wide margin. One in five children in Scotland remain in poverty, according to a damning report from the charity released today.
The foundation has cautioned that SNP plans to slash health boards and centralise local government could distract politicians from the need to improve the lives of children in Scotland. The charity says ministers need a much bolder approach to address the issue.
