This lunchtime learning seminar brought to you by Yorkshire and Rural Teaching Partnership and University of Huddersfield promotes communication and knowledge sharing between academics and multi-agency professionals.
The event is open to the Teaching Partnership Local Authorities and Partner organisations who work with or support Children and Families. This includes Health, Education and Police. Please share this event with colleagues you feel would benefit from this event.
This event will explore the research evidence on why the cost of living crisis is likely to increase pressures within families and therefore demands upon services. Such services are, however, themselves under increasing strain in the aftermath of Covid and as a result of a decade of austerity. The presentation will identify possibilities for policy and practice responses that are poverty-aware and contribute towards supporting children and families in very challenging circumstances.
