Lot Information

Child Poverty Prevention

The principal purpose of the Child Poverty Prevention Programme (CPPP) is to build on the work currently being undertaken by Newcastle, Northumberland, and North Tyneside local authorities to systematically address the causes of child poverty across the North of Tyne. In consultation with partners, a programme of work comprised of four pillars has been developed: Pillar 1: Funding an innovative programme of poverty interventions in schools across the North of Tyne Pillar 2: Financial support through the school gate Pillar 3: Working with employers to tackle child poverty Pillar 4: The Critical 1,001 days The project addresses the symptoms of child poverty through Pillar 1, supports families directly to assist in building financial resilience through Pillar 2 and works with employers to further address some of the causes of child poverty through Pillar 3. Pillar 4 is focussed on the first critical 1,001 days to mitigate the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on our youngest residents. The North East CA child poverty prevention programme is currently fully-funded through North East CA's Investment Fund.
