Families living on a low income are profoundly disadvantaged and COVID-19 has only made this worse. Since April 2020, the COVID Realities research programme has documented the everyday experiences of families on a low income with children during the pandemic. What these experiences show is that our social security system and wider public services are failing to provide families on low incomes with adequate support.
In this webinar, the project team launch their final report and present key findings from COVID Realities. The collaborative approach they have taken means the report’s recommendations reflect and are grounded in the needs of families living on a low income.
After an introduction from Alex Beer (Programme Head, Welfare, Nuffield Foundation), we will hear from participants Caroline and Jo, and researchers from COVID Realities, with responses from Donna Ward (Director of Children, Families and Disadvantage, DWP), and Hannah Aldridge (Head of Policy, Child Poverty Action Group).
The webinar will be chaired by Anela Anwar, Chief Executive of Z2K.
