NTCA Flexible Procurement Agreement for Children and Young People's framework

The principal purpose of the Child Poverty Prevention Programme (CPPP) is to build on the

work currently being undertaken by Newcastle, Northumberland, and North Tyneside local

authorities to systematically address the causes of child poverty across the North of Tyne. In

consultation with partners, a programme of work comprised of four pillars has been

developed:

Pillar 1: Funding an innovative programme of poverty interventions in schools across the

North of Tyne

Pillar 2: Financial support through the school gate

Pillar 3: Working with employers to tackle child poverty

Pillar 4: The Critical 1,001 days

The project addresses the symptoms of child poverty through Pillar 1, supports families

directly to assist in building financial resilience through Pillar 2 and works with employers to

further address some of the causes of child poverty through Pillar 3. Pillar 4 is focussed on

the first critical 1,001 days to mitigate the impact of socio-economic disadvantage on our

youngest residents.

The NTCA child poverty prevention programme is currently fully-funded through NTCA’s

Investment Fund.
