Now available on line the publication: Improving life chances for children in poverty - Lessons from across Europe

Collects the results of  the two-year project: European Cities Against Child Poverty Network

European Cities Against Child Poverty Network is a new EU-wide partnership led by GLE (Greater London Enterprise), working together with the London Development Agency (LDA), the London Councils and the cities of Amsterdam, Budapest, Helsinki and Milan.

The two-year project addressed the root causes of child poverty in our cities through sharing practical experience. It was taken a holistic approach when analysing child poverty, which includes the following themes: role of education and health care policy to break cycles of deprivation, access to employment for parents, the impact of poor housing conditions on children. Through the network, practitioners in charge of social services in partner cities share tried and tested approaches on how best to tackle child poverty through initiatives and policies, taking the best practice from all partners and developing a practical guide to help shape future policy - to make a real difference.

Now it is available a report witch presents the key findings of the Network as well as a selection of examples of best practice projects that support children, young people and parents in our cities, and help to reduce the impact of poverty and disadvantage.
The report is accompanied by an online directory of Network case studies on , where studies referenced in this report are also available.
