Child Poverty: Discussion
Ms Heydi Foster-Breslin:
I wish to make a quick point. There is huge investment in education in wealthy families from early years, through grind schools to private colleges. If there is not positive discrimination by the State in favour of communities with high rates of child poverty, those inequalities will just widen and widen.
