Follow up inquiry into Child Poverty: eradication through education

Terms of Reference

The terms of reference agreed for the Children and Young People Committee’s Inquiry into Child Poverty were:

  • to scrutinise the delivery of the Welsh Assembly Government’s policies to tackle child poverty, specifically, the child poverty strategy, A Fair Future for Our Children (February 2005) and Child Poverty Implementation Plan (November 2006)

  • to identify those areas where there are particular problems in implementation and the delivery of positive outcomes for children and young people.

  • to make evidence-based recommendations to the Welsh Assembly Government and others as necessary.

In October 2010 the Committee agreed to revisit this inquiry and review the recommendations in the report. The Committee will take oral evidence over 3 meetings and a report will be published in February 2011.
