Children’s Neighbourhoods Scotland and Policy Scotland
Children’s Neighbourhoods Scotland is an initiative that brings together people, resources and organisations in a neighbourhood area, so that all of those things can work together towards better lives for the children living there. Policy Scotland is a research unit at the University of Glasgow whose mission is to generate and provide a space for local, national and international public policy debates. Researchers from both groups will be releasing a series of articles during Challenge Poverty Week at varying levels for a host of different audiences. The articles that will be broad and help explain what they mean by poverty generally, before drilling down further with a few technical ones that go into some of the research in greater focus. For example, a few ideas for titles they are hoping to produce include:
- ‘What do we mean by poverty?’
- ‘How do we talk to young people about poverty?’
- ‘The challenges of poverty in Scotland’s rural areas’
- ‘The role of public services in tackling poverty’
- ‘How poverty bounds agency’
The articles will be published on the following websites:
