SCOTTISH Labour has announced a 10-point plan to eradicate child poverty through large-scale and sustainable “structural change.”

The plan includes previously announced policies such as an end to universal credit, universal free school meals and a £10 living wage, alongside new pledges including an extra-curricular activities fund to help children of all backgrounds access school trips.

An increase of child benefit by £5 a week and a “right to play,” which would ensure all children’s access to green spaces and play areas, are also included in the plan.
