Trafford Child Poverty Strategic Plan

The Trafford Child Poverty Strategic Plan intends to provide a shared understanding of the issues faced by children and their families who are living in poverty in Trafford. It is recognised that by tackling child poverty the cycle of poorer life chances of generation after generation can be broken, enabling children and young people to experience a brighter and more prosperous future where they can participate and reach their potential alongside their peers.

This document is based upon and influenced by a number of key drivers for change, and has the primary objective of preventing poor children from becoming poor adults. Alongside this plan is a comprehensive needs assessment which highlights the Wards, localities and more specifically the super output areas (SOAs) where our most disadvantaged families live. The needs assessment highlights the barriers currently preventing these families from moving out of poverty.

The strategic plan is accompanied by a needs assessment, based upon the 2007 Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index (IDACI). Please note that since the publication of the needs assessment, further IDACI data has become available. Trafford CYPS makes full use of the most up-to-date information available when targeting and delivering services.
