A range of measures have been introduced at both local and national level in order to tackle child poverty. In Scotland, many of these initiatives are located in and funded through the Social Inclusion Partnerships (SIPs) set up by the Scottish Executive. SIPs are multiagency partnership bodies made up of representatives from the statutory sector the voluntary sector, community representatives, and the private sector. Their task is to co-ordinate activities to promote social inclusion, prevent social exclusion, and fund local projects that fit local priorities.
