We have analysed the impacts of the planned policies in the Child Poverty Strategy on children and families with protected characteristics. We provide here a high-level overview, with the policies referenced in the Child Poverty Strategy being organised thematically.
While this summary does not seek to replicate or replace departments’ own usual processes for assessing their policies under the PSED, (found in section 149 of the Equality Act 2010), we provide here a summary analysis of the impact of the Child Poverty Strategy on those with protected characteristics.
