This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Aileen McKenzie:- "Council recognises that one year ago the Child Poverty (Scotland) Act 2017 was passed by the Scottish Parliament. Council welcomes the continued commitment to statutory targets to reduce levels of child poverty, and further welcomes the first Child Poverty Action Plan 2018 - 2022, developed by the Scottish Government, which outlines a range of measures to reduce the number of children living in poverty. Council reaffirms its commitment to tackling inequality and recognises that over one-third of children in the city are estimated to be living in poverty. Levels of child poverty are expected to dramatically increase in the coming years, due to decisions made by the Conservative UK Government. Council believes that the universality of child benefit, and the relative simplicity of making a claim, has led to consistently high levels of take up of child benefit, and therefore child benefit provides families with secure and reliable protection. Council therefore believes that the Child Poverty Action Group Scotland's 'Give Me Five' campaign, which calls for a £5 per week supplement on child benefit, could make a significant difference to families across Scotland and lift up to 30,000 children out of poverty now. Council instructs the Chief Executive of the Council to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Constitution, the Cabinet Secretary for Social Security and Older People, and all Glasgow MSPs, informing them of Glasgow City Council's support for the Child Poverty Action Group's 'Give Me Five' campaign and to urge them to support the introduction of a £5 per week supplement in the 2019/20 budget.".
