Hello John

Over recent months we’ve joined up with children’s doctors and teachers to find out what experience they have of child poverty. As professionals working very closely with children every day, they have seen the effect that rising poverty has had – on kids’ health and education. More than two-thirds of paediatricians we spoke to said poverty and low income contribute ‘very much’ to the ill health of children they work with, and 87% of school staff we spoke to said that poverty is having a significant impact on their pupils’ ability to get on in school.

Working closely with these professionals helps us show why we need change – to better support families so that children can have happy and healthy childhoods, and bright futures.

Are you a doctor or teacher, or other health or education professional we haven’t heard from? If you’re happy to share your experiences please get in touch. And if you have ideas about other professionals we should speak to next, please let us know by replying to this email.

Thank you for your support.

Best wishes,

Lizzie
