Child poverty facts and figures | CPAG The facts and figures show the reality of child poverty in the UK. There were 3.9 million children living in poverty in the UK in 2020-21. That's 27 per cent of children, or eight in a classroom of 30. The below data is from the year 2019/20. More recent data is not available at the moment as data collection was affected by the pandemic. 49 per cent of children living in lone-parent families are in poverty. (All poverty figures are after housing costs) Read about solutions to child poverty Research Impact What is impact? The Research Excellence Framework defines impact as: "an effect on, change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment or quality of life, beyond academia. Impact includes, but is not limited to, an effect on, change or benefit to: The activity, attitude, awareness, behaviour, capacity, opportunity, performance, policy, practice, process or understanding Of an audience, beneficiary, community, constituency, organisation or individuals In any geographical location whether locally, regionally, nationally or internationally Impact includes the reduction or prevention of harm, risk, cost or other negative effects." However, impact should also be understood in a broader sense as encompassing all of the public engagement, dissemination, and communication activities that aim to bring research done at the University to a wider, non-academic audience.

The Centre for Labour and Social Studies (CLASS) is leading left think tank working to ensure policy is on the side of everyday people. Originating in the trade union movement, CLASS has an authentic connection to working people and a unique insight into the challenges society faces. We combine grassroots voices with intellectually compelling analysis to show an alternative way forward. What does CLASS do? CLASS has been shaping and championing left analysis and policy debates since its creation. We recognise that these issues are intrinsically linked to inequalities in income, wealth, race, class and gender, and that a fairer society requires structural change. CLASS produces briefings, policy papers and think pieces spanning a broad policy field. CLASS organises seminars and events across the country to encourage discussion on new policy ideas. Who is involved? CLASS is led by Ellie Mae O'Hagan. How are we funded? You can download our Annual Reports below:
