Exploring the link between poverty and children entering care
Created: 01/11/2024The Together Trust has published a report exploring links between poverty and children entering care in the UK. It looks at research on poverty and the care system, examining how factors such as abuse, neglect, deprivation, education, race, health, and welfare policies are intertwined.
Recommendations for policy change include recognition of poverty as a primary driver behind children entering care, not just a contextual factor.
