Details
The analysis and research pack sets out the comprehensive evidence base that supports Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families.
Part 1 describes the evidence behind some of the issues associated with worklessness, how these disadvantages are often interrelated, and how they impact on children’s outcomes.
Part 2 sets out the 9 national indicators (7 non-statutory and 2 statutory) which we are using to track progress in tackling the disadvantages that affect families and children’s outcomes, as shown in our evidence and analysis. These will replace the indicators reported on in the former social justice outcomes framework.
The evidence resource on multiple disadvantage in families and its impact on children provides an overview of important milestones of child development from pre-conception to early adulthood, and explores how child development is influenced by multiple disadvantages affecting workless families.
Read the local data report that presents data on the factors of disadvantage and children’s outcomes at a local level, through a local government data tool (LG Inform).
