A continued commitment to partnership working across Perth and Kinross to support further reductions in the numbers of children and families locally affected by poverty will be the focus of next steps by Perth and Kinross Council, NHS Tayside and other Community Planning partners.

The seventh Local Child Poverty (LCPAR) Report will be considered at the Council meeting on Wednesday 29 October 2025 alongside the Action Plan for the year ahead. Notably this latest report reflects that the number of children living in relative poverty in Perth and Kinross reduced from 5,750 in 2023 to 5,155 in 2024, a 2.5 per cent drop which now ranks the Council area as seventh (up from tenth the previous year) nationally for lowest child poverty rates in Scotland.
