  "poverty is a family living on less than 60 per cent of the average income"
  
  I am surprised at this. Poverty to my mind is not to have enough food, clothing or warmth.
  
  I did not live "in poverty" but did not have central heating until I was about 35.
  
  I agree with Peter, a lot of child poverty stems from the inability to provide sufficient good food (i.e. to know how to prepare and cook it), and clothing.
  It is surprising what you can do on a low income.
  
  You cannot expect schools to teach children how to cook etc. and run a house, but the family should certainly do so.
