Baroness Wheatcroft pays tribute to our work in the House of Lords Debate on Child Poverty, 18 June 2026
Child poverty is a scourge on society, and that it should be at such a high level in this country is truly appalling. The best family hubs should begin to help those parents, but that will require the parents to engage with them, and they may prove hard to reach or even wary of things that they associate too closely with government. However, more practised and confident parents may be able to provide the back-up and encouragement that some parents need… and the most effective way of getting them together… is likely to be through the schools. One organisation that is pioneering this approach is the Parenting Circle. Its model is to use professional trainers to equip teachers and a core group of parents to work with those parents in need of support…. One small charity can reach only so many people, but it demonstrates just one way that the community could help achieve results without hefty government investment and intervention.
