This website has been designed to help the public sector develop local responses to reducing child poverty in Wales.
Child Poverty Solutions - Wales, is produced by Save the Children and the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA), with support from the Welsh Assembly Government. Many of our partners were involved in providing information for this toolkit. To ensure that the site is relevant to the public sector we have consulted widely and undertaken dedicated work with two selected Councils, Gwynedd & Rhonnda Cynon Taff.
