'As a contributor to the OECD report on early education and care I examined child poverty and quality of services to young children. The UK's record is shameful by comparison with countries like Belgium or Denmark. We aim to reduce our child poverty by half in ten years. Reducing it by half will still be double the rates in those countries now.' Dr Helen Penn of the University of East London, in a letter to The Guardian
