Report Exposes Reality of Child Poverty in Cornwall
Teachers in Cornwall are sharing a concerning story: children arriving at school hungry, tired, or in pain due to lack of support for their families.
A recent report on child poverty in Cornwall, launched during Challenge Poverty Week, highlights the harsh reality many families face daily.
The report, written by Cornwall Council's director of public health and his team, reveals that in some Cornish communities, as many as three in 10 children are growing up in poverty.
Behind these statistics are parents struggling to balance work, childcare, and rising costs.
Cornwall Council is working to expand oral health programmes to provide early prevention for more children.
