“Children living in poverty often suffer more ill-health and absenteeism from school and cannot concentrate when they are hungry.
“Teachers and other public service workers are struggling to pick up the pieces caused by this Government’s economic and social policies. It has a responsibility to tackle, not generate, poverty and homelessness.”
