Our Approach – Consulting and Developing a Child and Family Poverty Strategy

Wirral Child and Family Poverty Working Group 

To inform the development of Wirral’s strategy, the local authority has established a local independent advisory group, the Wirral Child and Family Poverty Working Group. 

The membership of the Group has representation from all political groups and includes Wirral members of the Liverpool City Region Poverty and Life Chances Commission to ensure links are maintained to this sub-regional work.  It has representation from the voluntary, community and faith sector and those that use services as well as partners including Job Centre Plus and Wirral Metropolitan College.  It is chaired by a representative from the voluntary, community and faith sector.
