Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:38 pm on 22 November 2022.
Trefnydd, last week I visited Capcoch Primary School in Abercwmboi to see the wonderful and truly heart-warming work that the school does to try and combat the effects of child poverty. The school's proactive interventions, including a clothes exchange, a foodbank and its approach to things like school trips, have been praised by Estyn. The Resolution Foundation estimates that relative child poverty is projected to reach its highest level now since the 1990s. So, how is the Welsh Government supporting schools to support children, young people, their families and carers who are suffering due to the cost-of-living crisis that is imposed by this UK Tory Government?
