Abstract

Since 1997 there has been increased policy attention on poverty and its impact in our society. At both the UK and Scottish levels a wide range of initiatives and programmes have been introduced aimed at tackling poverty and reducing social exclusion. In this article we will look at the impact of some of these policies on poverty, and the implications of what is widely seen as a more progressive policy context for looked after young people.
