February 2013 - BASW Response to DfE Consultation on Measuring Child Poverty
Launch date: Thursday 15 November 2012
Closing date: Friday 15 February 2013
During the summer, the Government announced it would consult on developing better measures of child poverty which include income, but provide a more accurate picture of the reality of child poverty today. This consultation asks how we can best reflect the reality of child poverty using a multidimensional measure.
A number of potential dimensions are proposed: income and material deprivation, worklessness, unmanageable debt, poor housing, parental skill level, access to quality education, parental health and family stability.
We would welcome views on the specifics of each dimension, as well as whether we should include other dimensions.
