Three in five children supported by frontline children’s workers are living in destitution, according to a survey.
According to the survey of 1,200 children’s workers, 60 per cent of children they are supporting are living in this lowest standard of poverty.
In total those surveyed support 200,000 children living in poverty.
This is a “significant increase” over the last two years, according to children’s charity Buttle UK which carried out the survey.
