In case you missed it back in June, you can watch our ‘Hidden Costs’ research launch on YouTube! 📽️ Pictured are some of the lovely families who took part. Their panel discussion stole the show and begins around 1 hour into the recording: youtube.com/watch?v=v91CjG…

At the launch of @RCPCHIreland #WorriedandWaiting report this afternoon. Children waiting much longer in NI compared to other areas. In June 2023 there were over 22k children on waiting lists. Recommendations - Whole child approach; workforce strategy and improved data.

An Anti-Poverty Strategy is now 18 years overdue - there can be no more delay. An investment in children & families is an investment in a better society. (🧵3/3)

Families in NI are grappling with: ➡️ The 2 child limit for social security payments ➡️ A low wage economy ➡️ No Early Learning and Childcare Strategy ➡️ Inadequate paternal and carers leave These issues are compounded when a family has a seriously ill or disabled child (🧵2/3)

Poverty was not outlined as a priority for new Communities Minister @NIA_Communities yesterday. As civil society, we need to mobilise to push poverty up the political agenda. Please come to this event next week & join @CliffEdgeNI. #Poverty #SocialSecurity #WelfareMitigations
Cliff Edge Coalition NI@CliffEdgeNI

Poverty affects thousands across Northern Ireland and measures are urgently needed to strengthen the benefit system. We’re asking Cliff Edge members to join this discussion on tackling poverty and have their voices heard on how we can support people facing hardship.

We join the @EqualityCoal in urging local councils to pass motions in urgent support of an Anti Poverty Strategy that is based on objective need and aims to eradicate poverty. Councils must highlight poverty in their areas and amplify the voice of those in poverty. No more delays

A #YoungPatientsFundNI would provide vital financial support for families of sick children when they need it the most. This could help keep families in work and out of poverty (🧵3/3)

*98%* of caregivers surveyed for our own research said having a child in hospital had impacted their ability to work. This only drives families deeper into debt, poverty and stress. Read more here - bit.ly/3uIHg0m (🧵2/3)

For parents & caregivers, having a sick or disabled child can be an insurmountable barrier to high quality and well paid work. We have heard from families who have reduced their hours, taken unpaid leave and sometimes left the workforce altogether to care for their child (🧵1/3)
Action for Children NI@Actn4ChildrenNI

Today we release research into how many NI children are impacted by poverty because their families face barriers to work. These barriers include: already working maximum hours available, managing caring responsibilities, or dealing with long-term health-condition/disability

We recommend: 1) Fix the basic adequacy of social security-too many household incomes are too low for families meet their essential needs, 2) Support families to overcome barriers to work through childcare, better support for carers & those managing health conditions/disability

"There are two emotions that the rising level of extreme poverty summon up. The first is anger. Our country is entrenching inequalities between rich and poor with little debate. The second is compassion. We must do everything we can to help those falling through the net." 👇
