Today as MSPs return to the Scottish Parliament, we've, along with End Child Poverty Coalition partners, accompanied children and young people to attend. And ask them to listen.

We are pleased to see @michaeljmarra.bsky.social call for a cross party approach to #EndChildPoverty. We agree, and that's why in June, along with 20 others, we wrote to MSPs from all parties to call on the Scottish Parliament to establish a Cross-Committee on Ending Child Poverty. Read the letter 👇
Alongside partners we've written to the Education & Gaelic, Equalities & Human Rights and Social Justice Committees to call for a joint Scottish Parliamentary committee on ending child poverty.
