The Improvement Service Child Poverty and Planning for Place teams have been working closely to explore how land use planning can create positive change for children and families living in poverty.
We are developing a new briefing to help council land use planners and community planning partners work more closely with child poverty action leads. By improving collaboration and understanding the systems each other operate within, we can make the best use of the resources we have available to address and prevent the causes of poverty.
To dive in deeper, there’s also a free online Place and Wellbeing Alliance event where we will be sharing more about the briefing and the approach:
