Summary of request
You requested:
1. Does your council have a written anti-poverty strategy (this may also be referred to as a ‘poverty strategy’)? This may be an all-age strategy, or one focussing on a specific group of the population, such as a child poverty strategy. If so, please provide a link to the strategy if it is available publicly, or a copy via email.
2. If your council does not have an anti-poverty strategy in place, does it plan to develop one within the next 12 months? If so, please provide a link to any public facing document detailing this commitment.
3. Has your council voluntarily adopted the socio-economic duty?
Our response:
The GLA is the regional governmental body for London responsible for the strategic administration of the city and does not operate in the same way as local Borough Councils.
We therefore do not hold the information you have requested for questions 1 and 2 within the scope of your request. You would need to contact the individual local Borough Councils, I have attached the link: https://directory.londoncouncils.gov.uk/
For question 3, we have not formally adopted it across the entire organisation, but it forms part of our equality impact assessments and is something we are seeking to adopt over the longer term.
If you need more information about the role and work of the GLA, please go to our website: www.london.gov.uk .
