A post-election poll by the Children’s Charities Coalition found that 78% of the public would support the government introducing a new bill to eradicate child poverty.
There are currently 4.3 million children living in poverty, which is linked to a range of issues facing young people, including mental health and wellbeing, education and physical health. Families from the poorest neighbourhoods are 14 times more likely to be referred to child social care than families from the wealthiest areas.
The Children’s Charities Coalition (Action for Children, Barnardo’s, The Children’s Society, National Children’s Bureau and the NSPCC) conducted a YouGov poll of over 2,000 adults after the election, which found that 78% would support the introduction of a bill to prevent child poverty.

This is based on new figures published by the Department for Work and Pensions, which show that in April this year, 1.6 million children were living in households eligible for the two-child benefit scheme.
The poll also found that more than 6 in 10 respondents (62%) believe more needs to be done to meet the needs of babies, children and young people. When asked about issues affecting children:
- 81% of the public said they would support new policies that provide more early intervention services for children’s social care
- 82% of the public said they would support new policies that provide more funding and services to children in child care
- 69% of the population indicated that they would support the establishment of a cabinet committee specifically focused on the needs of children.
The coalition says:the problems of child poverty are complex and cannot be tackled by individual government departments in isolation. Instead, we need a government mission, led by the prime minister, that addresses the issues facing babies, children and young people, and that focuses on children’s needs and advocates for their education, health and wellbeing outcomes. This is vital to ensure that all children have access to opportunities and can grow up safer, healthier and happier.
