Simple terms explainer
Every year, councils must work with health boards to publish a Local Child Poverty Action Report (LCPAR) showing what they’re doing to tackle child poverty in their area. This includes actions already taken, plans for the future, and support for families who may face extra challenges. Councils must also involve local communities and people with lived experience of poverty to help shape the report.
