End Child Poverty Week seminar hears of difficulties in direct provision and generational poverty
Prof Frazer went as far as to say the future of democracy depended on building more equal, inclusive and sustainable societies. He said “ending child poverty is key to this and ensuring an adequate income for all children is an essential element in achieving this goal”.
The professor also said it was vital to keep listening to children, young people and parents/guardians experiencing poverty as these were the ones who really knew what interventions were necessary.presented new research on income inadequacy for children living in direct provision, pointing out that the “universal benefit” paid to parents or guardians for all children under the age of 16, is not paid for children in direct provision.
Ms Cid said where a parent in direct provision wanted to work they must first apply for permission, and this could take months. She also said direct provision centres were frequently located in rural areas where employment opportunities were scarce and harder to access, and on top of this, many asylum seekers had a language difficulty.
