Using data to understand child poverty
In this video, Hanna McCulloch of the Improvement Service provides context on why accessing the right data is an important part of ensuring that local partners can take the most effective action to tackle child poverty. Professor John McKendrick of the Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit at Glasgow Caledonian University explores the importance of national data, local data, and national data that can be disaggregated to local level.
These presentations were originally included as part of a webinar held in September 2021. You can watch the webinar in full, including presentations from Dr Megan Watson of Public Health Scotland and Gena Howe of Glasgow City Council, on the Improvement Service Youtube channel.
