SHORT SURVEY: CHILD AND FAMILY POVERTY IN WALES





SHORT SURVEY: CHILD AND FAMILY POVERTY IN WALES

How much has changed in the past year?

In August 2014, Children in Wales published a report ˜Child and Family Poverty in Wales: A snapshot of key issues raised by families'.  This report identified the following as the most common poverty related issues raised by families
  • The impact of Welfare Reform and associated changes to the benefit system (including a lack of awareness about changes, and concerns about sanctions and delays in payments
  • Housing (in relation to sufficiency and availability of social housing, and housing quality)
  • Impact of the Bedroom Tax or spare bedroom subsidy
  • Food Poverty (including the increase in the use of foodbanks)
  • Debt
  • Energy costs
  • Rising cost of living (including families struggling with everyday essential costs)
We are keen to hear from you, as a member organisation, to help us understand what the main poverty related issues currently facing children and families in Wales are today and how much this has changed over the past year. Your information will help us in our work with policy makers.


THANK YOU

AROLWG BYR: TLODI PLANT A THEULUOEDD YNG NGHYMRY

Faint sydd wedi newid yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf?

Ym mis Awst 2014, cyhoeddodd Plant yng Nghymru adroddiad 'Tlodi Plant a Theuluoedd yng Nghymru: Ciplun ar y materion allweddol a godwyd gan deuluoedd' . Roedd yr adroddiad hwn yn nodi mai'r canlynol oedd y materion mwyaf cyffredin cysylltiedig â thlodi oedd yn cael eu codi gan deuluoedd
  • Effaith Diwygio Lles a newidiadau cysylltiedig i'r system fudd-daliadau (gan gynnwys diffyg ymwybyddiaeth o newidiadau, a phryderon ynghylch sancsiynau ac oedi gyda thaliadau
  • Tai (yng nghyswllt digonolrwydd ac argaeledd tai cymdeithasol, ac ansawdd tai)
  • Effaith y Dreth Ystafelloedd Gwely neu'r cymhorthdal ystafell wely sbâr
  • Tlodi Bwyd (gan gynnwys y cynnydd yn y defnydd o fanciau bwyd)
  • Dyled
  • Costau ynni
  • Cost gynyddol byw (gan gynnwys teuluoedd sy'n cael trafferth ymdopi â chostau pob dydd hanfodol)
Rydyn ni'n awyddus i glywed gennych chi, un o'n haelod-sefydliadau, i'n helpu i ddeall beth yw'r prif faterion cysylltiedig â thlodi sy'n wynebu plant a theuluoedd yng Nghymru heddiw, ac i ba raddau mae hynny wedi newid yn ystod y flwyddyn ddiwethaf.  Bydd eich gwybodaeth yn ein helpu yn ein gwaith gyda llunwyr polisi.

DIOLCH
