Original Note:
The claim of 4.3m is not credible. The 4.3m would mean almost every other child was living in poverty. "Comparatively, an estimated 20.4% of the population were under 16 years old in 1999, decreasing to 19.0% in 2019 and this is projected to decline to 16.9% by 2039" https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/populationestimates/articles/overviewoftheukpopulation/january2021
