Children in poverty: No recourse to public funds

Inquiry

This inquiry is looking at children in poverty. This is a complex subject, so the Committee’s work will be in several parts.

For the second part of the inquiry, we are looking at the experiences of children who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).
