In the Eye of the Storm: Britain's Forgotten Children and Families

A research report for Action for Children, The Children’s Society and NSPCC

The recession and the resulting austerity is the issue that most defines our times. Yet its impact on the most vulnerable children is too rarely considered – children who, by definition, cannot protect themselves. These children deserve consideration in their own right and a level of political discourse above and beyond the current focus on families and parenting.

It is for this reason that three leading children’s charities, Action for Children, the Children’s Society and the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children commissioned Landman Economics to undertake new research to estimate the number of vulnerable children and families in Britain and the impact of the current economic context on them.
