It’s heartbreaking that more than one in three babies in Scotland aren’t being given an equal chance to thrive because their families are struggling to make ends meet.

We are failing the very youngest members of our society. We must do better for babies.

Child poverty rates in Scotland remain too high with 1 in 4 children being held back from reaching their full potential 💔

This is despite welcome progress that has been made through important initiatives like the introduction of the #SCP ✅
