The consensus between the three main political parties concerning the urgency of the need to tackle child poverty offers communities in the UK an unprecedented opportunity. Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats have all endorsed the aspiration to eradicate child poverty by 2020.

But consensus on the end goal is only the first step. The need to define an effective route map to realising the 2020 target has never been stronger. 4Children’s pamphlet sets out key tests which need to be met if we are to turn this aspiration into a reality.
