In their first post for @PowerToPersuade this week, @BessellSharon & @CadhlaOSull identify trends from their analysis of poverty and wellbeing indicators for children - including insufficient acknowledgement of the link between poverty and wellbeing, and the 'missing middle’

[Dr. Siobhan McDonnell @SiobhanADM]

Parents & children gathered at ⁦@ourANU⁩ childcare centre this morning to raise concerns about the closure of their four centres and the process moving forward. I’m here supporting our many ⁦@ANUCrawford⁩ families who are impacted by this decision 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

[The Centre @CFECFW]

1 in 6 children live below the poverty line in our country. Why do we still accept child poverty, and what can be done about it? Check out The Centre's Anti-Poverty event discussing just that.

🚨 The latest @CommunitiesNI poverty report paints a stark picture - there has been a significant rise in child poverty.

‼️ 1 in 4 children live in relative poverty

‼️ That’s a rise of 6% on 2021/22

‼️ 1 in 4 children in poverty are food insecure

🚨 In NI - 23% of children are living in poverty!

“It’s devastating that almost 100,000 children in NI are being consistently failed. We ask those in power to treat these shocking figures as a wake-up call; we cannot go on like this.” Peter Bryson, head of Save the Children NI.

@MSEI_UniMelb This looks great! Is it only in person?

[Save the Children Northern Ireland @SCUKNI]

Children living in poverty desperately need Stormont to act on warnings in a new NI Audit Office report. It finds that the expired child poverty strategy set no clear targets for poverty reduction, had no ring-fenced budget & had a lack of focus on early intervention.
