    This is Kent reports on the shocking poverty situation in Dover and District after the publishing of the latest profile by Kent County Council.

    More than a fifth of Dover's under-16s are living in poverty, over 1,000 of them in homes without central heating.

    UNEMPLOYMENT: 4,394 children live in homes where no adults are in employment.
    HEATING: 1,283 youngsters aged 0 to 18 in the area live in homes without central heating.
    BREAD: The profile also reveals a rise in the number of youngsters aged 16 and under living below the breadline.

    The report also cites a lack of free and affordable childcare availability, and that cost can make low-paid work financially unviable.
