Education in a broken welfare state – the role schools play in supporting their communities
09 December 2024, 5:30 pm–7:00 pm
Without easy access to other support services, families increasingly turn to schools for help. In this panel discussion, researchers, practitioners and policymakers will debate the role schools already play in supporting their communities, and where investment needs to go to ensure our most vulnerable children and families thrive.
This event is free.

In many ways schools act as vital community hubs. Speeches from the Ministers in the new government suggest they recognise this. The panel will reflect on some of the ways in which policy initiatives might meet the challenges schools and their communities face.
