The IT referred to the
Child Poverty Monitor 2024, published by the Children’s Rights Alliance - see bottom of the left column on page 5, which states:
“The most recent Survey of Income and Living Conditions (SILC) revealed that there was an increase in the number of children experiencing deprivation in 2023 (260,773) compared to 2022 (229,091). This means that one-in-five children – 260,7731 – were living in households unable to afford goods and services which are considered the norm for society such as being unable to afford a new pair of shoes for a child or not being able to replace broken furniture.”
