Costs of Child Poverty: A rapid evidence review of the effect of income on child outcomes
Source: gov.uk (2025-12-05)

This report reviews evidence on how changes in family income affect children’s school readiness, health, and economic outcomes.

Summary

This report reviews robust evidence on how changes in family income affect children’s school readiness, health, and economic outcomes.

Research background

The Department for Work and Pensions commissioned this rapid evidence review to inform the UK government’s Child Poverty Strategy. The review explores whether increasing family income during pregnancy or childhood leads to better outcomes for children. Only studies using robust methods (randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental designs (QEDs) were included. The review addresses three questions:
- What is the effect of income on children’s school readiness?
- What is the effect of income on children’s health outcomes?
- What is the effect of income on children’s economic outcomes?
Contribution to the evidence base

The review provides a systematic synthesis of 35 studies, highlighting the types of income interventions (e.g., cash transfers, tax credits, earnings supplements) and their effects on children’s development, health, and future economic outcomes.

UK-based evidence shows health impacts, including reductions in infant mortality and emergency hospital admissions, while international studies support improvements in economic and school readiness outcomes.

The review identifies gaps in the UK evidence base, noting that most studies are from the US, Canada, or Latin America, and calls for further UK-specific research.

Research value

The review strengthens our understanding of how income affects child outcomes by confirming that sustained and targeted increases in household income can causally improve outcomes.

It builds on previous research conducted by Cooper & Stewart (2021), by focusing on studies that show causality and by including a wider range of economic outcomes.

The findings supported the Child Poverty Taskforce and the development of the UK’s cross-government Child Poverty Strategy (www.gov.uk/government/collections/child-poverty-strategy).

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Freethorpe Parish Council will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Freethorpe Parish Council recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Charities
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

UK Government Overseas Network to Sell Scotland Around the World
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-13)

Scottish Secretary drives forward Brand Scotland with new campaign fund.

The UK Government’s drive to sell Brand Scotland around the world will get a boost with the launch of a new fund for overseas campaigns.

The Scottish Secretary, Ian Murray, is offering the UK’s international network grants of up to £20,000 for innovative and creative activities to market Scotland overseas.

One of Ian Murray’s priorities at the Scotland Office is Brand Scotland - promoting Scottish goods and services overseas and encouraging inward investment in Scotland. This is a key part of the UK Government’s Plan for Change.

The US and India free trade agreements signed last week show just how popular Scottish products are overseas. The India deal slashed tariffs for Scotch - great news for our whisky producers who want to expand their overseas markets.

This new fund will complement an extensive programme of overseas visits planned for Scotland Office ministers over the year, following on from Ian Murray’s recent successful trips to Norway, Malaysia, Singapore, Washington and New York.

Scottish Secretary Ian Murray said:

“Brand Scotland is a fantastic opportunity to promote all that is great about Scotland around the world, and show investors the opportunities of Scotland. Through the Foreign, Development and Commonwealth Office, the UK has an extensive overseas network, which works day in day out to promote our country. This exciting new fund will boost the overseas network’s ability to promote Scotland and all it has to offer in many key markets. Brand Scotland is a key part of the UK Government’s Plan for Change, to boost growth and put more money in people’s pockets.”

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:

“The UK-India free trade deal slashing whisky export tariffs is a prime example of how the UK Government is unlocking growth opportunities to deliver for people in every corner of the country, as part of our Plan for Change.

“The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office is looking forward to showcasing Brand Scotland around the world as part of our mission to turbo charge the economy and put more money back in people’s pockets.

“Kickstarting economic growth is in this government’s DNA so my diplomats will be working tirelessly to shout about everything Scotland has to offer, not least its world-beating food and drink.”

Brand Scotland leverages Scotland’s unique cultural assets and the UK’s soft power. The UK Government’s overseas network will have the opportunity to bid for funds. Projects will support Scotland-focused trade missions and trade events. We expect bids to be creative and go beyond ‘business as usual’.

Bids will be assessed on their ability to deliver measurable outcomes and foster long-term relationships with stakeholders in host countries. Bids will be reviewed by officials from the Scotland Office, FCDO, and the Department for Business and Trade - with the Scotland Office giving final sign-off.
