First question received from a webinar attendee last week: "How will the uprating of benefits and increase in the benefit cap levels from April impact poverty rates?" #AskAnAnalyst

Our state of the nation report into poverty in the UK reveals that 1.8 million children are growing up in very deep poverty, meaning family incomes are so low that they are completely inadequate to cover the basics.
Large numbers of children were living on low incomes for prolonged periods of time in the years running up the pandemic.
For many young children, this persistence of poverty means going without essentials is all they have ever known or can remember
