to
The Child Poverty Act 2010 is a law that requires the UK government to set measurable targets to reduce child poverty and regularly report on how well they're doing. It aims to ensure fewer children in Britain grow up in poor families, though it focuses on planning and accountability rather than directly providing new funding.
