NAWRA has co-signed a letter urging the Scottish Government to bring forward the introduction of the income supplement for low income families.
NAWRA’s representative for Scotland, Craig Samuel, said:
“To date Scottish Government have achieved so much with Social Security however if we do not use the powers and mandates, we fought so long for, then it will be a sad indictment on us as a people. If we don’t do more to reduce child poverty, reduce adverse childhood experiences then ultimately we shall be limiting the dreams and ambitions of families and children living in poverty in Scotland so I on behalf of NAWRA advocate bringing forward the Income Supplement before 2022.”
