An estimated 2.9 million children in the UK still remain deprived, and the new legislation will see the government accountable to Parliament on its progress to end child poverty. It recognises that local initiatives are vital to meet this commitment, and as a result will introduce legislation that will provide a framework to strengthen local approaches that are already in place and ensure progress is made across all communities.
