Glasgow City Council are currently running a Financial Inclusion Support Officer project aimed at imbedding Financial Inclusion support into a school setting. The foundations of this project where based very much on listening to parents and community groups with lived experience of poverty and using data that the council has to identify need and gaps in service. The aim was to look at new ways to tackle child poverty aimed at initially targeting two of the three main drivers of Child poverty, the cost of living and maximising entitlement from social security benefits.
