As part of the North East Mayor's priorities, the North East Child Poverty Reduction Unit has been established. This Unit has now developed a Child Poverty Action Plan that includes measures to monitor progress in tackling child poverty.
These measures come from national datasets that are published for England at a regional level. We will work with national, regional and local partners to explore how we can make use of more real-time information to understand and respond to what is happening now for North East families.
The action plan highlights eight sets of key measures to monitor progress which you can explore on the indicator page.
