  • Local Child Poverty Action Report Renfrewshire 2019/2020 Foreword
    Local Child Poverty Action Report Renfrewshire 2019/2020 Foreword This report sets out activities undertaken in Renfrewshire to reduce child poverty between April 2019 and March 2020. This, our second report, shows how we have built on the work we have carried out in previous years, and that which was reported last year in our first Local Child Poverty Action Report. The report has been jointly developed by Renfrewshire Council, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), and Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP). It also includes information about partnership work to tackle child poverty across Renfrewshire’s Community Planning Partnership and beyond. Normally, the Local Child Poverty Action Report would cover future plans for the year ahead, however, from March 2020, the response to Covid-19 became a significant focus for the Council, the NHS and partners. Safeguarding families and individuals became increasingly vital within what is an ever-changing landscape. Our Council teams quickly put initial measures into place: providing payments to families in place of free school meals; relaxing Scottish Welfare Fund rules and quickly ensuring a supply of essential food and other items was in place for our most vulnerable families. This was supplemented by the forming of a Local Assistance Team, Neighbourhood Hubs and a Community Food group to help facilitate a Renfrewshire wide community response to Covid-19 issues. As the year continues we know we will have to deal with more unemployment and lower incomes in families from furloughing, continued shielding and protection of vulnerable people along with issues, financial and otherwise, caused by school closures.

In such cases the application will be referred to the appropriate area committee. Any queries on any of the applications contained in the list or requests to refer an application to committee should be directed to the area manager/team leader at the appropriate area office. A Member should only request that a team leader or manager consider referring a delegated application to committee if the Member still has concerns about an application after having discussed the matter with the team leader/manager. Note for Community Councils and members of the public: If you wish further information on any application included in the list, please contact the case officer dealing with application. Alternatively you can contact the officer using the relevant email address below or you can view the application and associated documents on the Council's website at www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk or at the appropriate Planning and Building Standards area office.
