Great to see this joined-up work, staff in public & school libraries are a key part of solving the important puzzle of child poverty. @CILIPinfo will be in touch. #LibrariesChangeLives – at Islington, London

There is no challenge more crucial for this government than tackling the scourge of child poverty. That's why @LeicesterLiz and I are getting on with the job, chairing the first meeting of the Child Poverty Taskforce which will drive our ambitious strategy across government.

Fancy helping us spread the word? You can share our Towpath Code using this handy picture 👇
Infographic detailing the following: "The Towpath Code. Remember: Share the Space, Drop your Pace, It's a Special Place. Please be thoughtful and considerate when using towpaths. The following applies: Pedestrians have priority. Cyclists must slow down for others. Take extra care when passing people, pets and wildlife. Respect people using the waterway for activities like angling, boating or paddle sports. Wheelchairs, mobility aids, cycles and legal e-bikes are allowed. E-scooters, modified e-bikes and other unauthorised vehicles are not allowed. Keep dogs under close control and clean up after them. Take litter home."
