A joint campaign event at the Scottish Parliament between Aberlour Children’s Charity and Govan Law Centre (GLC) has gained significant support and interest from MSPs across all political parties.
Both Scottish charities called upon MSPs to make transformational changes to the way public debt is collected in Scotland to help end child poverty – further details are available here.
The Parliamentary event (Tuesday, 11th September 2024) asked MSPs to support a transformational law reform bill which would include radical initiatives to change the way public bodies in Scotland collect debt to ensure children are not trapped in, or pushed into, poverty.
