Researching Poverty and Vulnerability

To truly support vulnerable families, we must see poverty for what it is—a pervasive risk factor that influences every other domain of a child’s life. More than just economic deprivation, poverty reduces access to opportunity, stability, and wellbeing. Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.
