Report Exposes Reality of Child Poverty in Cornwall
According to Hilary Frank, teachers in Cornwall are sharing the same concerns: children are arriving at school hungry, tired, or in pain due to lack of support for their families.
A recent report on child poverty in Cornwall, launched during Challenge Poverty Week, reveals the harsh reality faced by many families. Written by Cornwall Council's director of public health and his team, it highlights that in some Cornish communities, as many as three in 10 children are growing up in poverty.
Behind those figures are parents doing their best, juggling work, childcare and rising costs.
Cornwall Council is working to expand oral health programmes to provide early prevention for more children.
