The End Child Poverty (ECP) coalition has produced a ten point "Ten for a million" charter which calls for political parties to commit to ten radical policies which would take a million children in the UK out of poverty by 2010.
The ten points are:
4Children, Addaction, ATD Fourth World, Barnardo’s, British Association for Adoption and Fostering, BVSC, Caritas, Centrepoint, Child Poverty Action Group, Childline, Children’s Links, Church Action on Poverty, Citizens Advice, Contact a Family, Coram Family, Council for Disabled Children, Daycare Trust, Disability Alliance, Family Rights Group, Family Service Units, Family Welfare Association, Fathers Direct, Frank Buttle Trust, Maternity Alliance, National Children’s Bureau, National Energy Action, National Youth Agency, NCH, New Policy Institute, National Family and Parenting Institute, NSPCC, One Parent Families, Oxfam, Parentline Plus, Poverty Alliance, Rainer, Refugee Council, RNID, Royal College of Nursing, Save the Children, Scope, Shelter, TELCO, The Children’s Society, UK Coalition Against Poverty, YWCA England & Wales.
‘Disability Alliance is particularly concerned about the lack of specific help for disabled parents. Through our work we are all too aware of the daily struggle they face in providing for their children. If the proposals in this charter were implemented the lives of these families could be transformed.’
Quote from Disability Alliance chief executive Lorna Reith.
