Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Child Poverty: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Gayle Smith:

I thank the committee for the opportunity to speak today and for all the questions from the members, which were relevant. I reiterate that if we move away from the conditionality around certain benefits and supports and make these supports and services more accessible, that will benefit children and their families in the long run.
