I PREFER the term “children living in poverty” rather than child poverty, which seems to indicate that it is something to do with the child.
That any child is brought up in poverty is wrong but that tens of thousands in Wales — estimated at one in four children by charity Children in Wales — are affected this way is a disgrace and an indictment of the Conservative government at Westminster.
