Poverty in Wales is the "single major challenge", an official report has warned.

Figures suggest more than a third of children in Wales are now classed as living in poverty, more than anywhere else in the UK.

The Audit Office has called for renewed focus across every tier of government in Wales to address the issue.

It includes a key recommendation for new a national strategy and targets to tackle poverty.

The 50-page investigation by the auditor general for Wales said it recognised that dealing with poverty remains a priority for Welsh government and local councils.

However, it stated that a mix of approaches and "complicated" working environments meant "ambitions, focus, actions and prioritisation vary widely".

The Audit Office said the current cost of living crisis was making the situation even worse.

According to the report, 34% of children in Wales were predicted to be living in poverty in March 2021.

It means that 34% of children in Wales are living in a home where the income available to that household is less than 60% of the UK average - which is how relative income poverty is defined by officials in Wales.

Those classed as falling into "in-work poverty" - where working families no longer have enough income to meet household bills - rose by 18% in Wales in 2021.
