All political parties must pledge to direct more of our national resources towards making children’s lives better. We need to rethink the place of children in today’s Britain and ensure the right to a good childhood is central to our national culture. “We cannot afford a ‘do nothing’ budget for children. The report shows a clear link between high levels of child wellbeing and low levels of child poverty. If we fail to protect families during the downturn, progress on child wellbeing could go into reverse. The Chancellor must take the final steps needed to keep the promise to halve child poverty by 2010.” No Tory is going to make such statements.
