We have to end child poverty in Scotland.
That must be the focus of the First Minister and his Government.

In Ireland, the deprivation rate (as defined by the @CSOIreland) for one-parent families is 43.5% . Government need to use the evidence and provide targeted supports to the most vulnerable.

Thank you @almasaarfalkirk for sharing these important points and reminding us of the different experiences of single parents in minority families and pointing to the racial bias.
#StandWithSingleParents ⬇️

The isolation of single parents in minority families are multiple time worse than white families.
The statistics shown here don’t include the impact of racial bias in social security, workplace, education, domestic abuse support and the child maintenance service.

In Ireland, one-parent families are being disproportionately affected by the cost of living rises and need targeted supports. @OPFS @Gingerbread @ParentingNI #StandWithSingleParents #singleparentsweek

1/4 of all families in the UK are led by single parent families, 88% are women. @Gingerbread now finds that 76% are in debt. 73% of single mums told @YWTrust their finances filled them 'with dread'.
What needs to change? See bit.ly/3JwbDdJ #StandWithSingleParents

Gingerbread CEO, @_VictoriaBenson, says: “Single parents are brilliant at budgeting they have to be – but they are not miracle workers. They have been pushed to their financial limits by years of austerity, followed by the covid pandemic & now the deepening cost of living crisis.

Today in #SingleParentsWeek, we're reminding @10DowningStreet and @scotgov that they have a moral responsibility to #StandWithSingleParents during this #CostOfLivingCrisis, by investing in adequate incomes for them and their children.
