A new PhD opportunity just landed with our good friends @childrensrightsqub.bsky.social who we've been working with alongside @savethechildrenni.bsky.social to understand the impact of #SocialSecurity on children's experiences of poverty. It's time to hear from children themselves:

4.3 million children are in poverty

UK govt won’t see progress on child poverty by 2029 even with high economic growth 📢

Our analysis shows under our central scenario only Scotland will see child poverty rates fall by 2029 in part due to social security policies 1/5
