I had seminars on children no longer read books for pleasure (PGCE 2000). I remember the Blair years early start book club campaigns. I see more C&YA books published than in my childhood? Is this another Parent Blame campaign? Not saying it's not an issue but it's a perennial one.

The UK is among the worst nations in Europe for child poverty.
In the UK, 11% of 15-year-olds reported they had skipped a meal in 2022 because there wasn't enough money to buy food.
In the Netherlands and Finland, this number was 3%.
