Child Poverty Awareness

A half-day course Growing up in poverty impacts on children’s well-being; their early years development, physical and mental health, educational achievement, and future life chances. Recognising and understanding the effects of poverty on children and families is vital to improving their outcomes. The aim of this course is to increase participants knowledge and understanding of the relationship between poverty and inequality and how poverty impacts on children’s lives and to enable participants to recognise ways in which their services can impact on children and families who experience poverty.
