The Joseph Rowntree Foundation estimates that the number of children experiencing destitution tripled to around one million over five years (jrf.org.uk/deep-poverty-and-destitution/destitution-in-the-uk-2023).2 The academy’s report calls for urgent action to tackle workforce issues and social determinants, to name but two factors that are damaging children’s long term health and life chances.
