Beskrivning
Available Open Access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.During the cost-of-living crisis, schools and nurseries have had to step beyond their educational purpose to offer free food to families through food banks. This book explores how these food banks operate, why families use them and how they affect children’s participation and wellbeing. Drawing on case studies of 12 primary schools and early years settings across England, it examines the impact on family wellbeing, home-school relationships and staff. The authors argue that the situation will remain unsustainable if this welfare work continues to be unfunded and unrecognised, raising a significant question of who should and who can be responsible for alleviating child poverty.

Recensioner i media

“This book is a powerful analysis of the recent growth of food banks in nurseries and primary schools – the 'responsibilisation of schools to address the problem of child poverty' as the authors note. Bradbury and Vince conduct a finely detailed analysis of how this situation has come to pass, what teachers think and feel about such provision, and what the implications are for the schools themselves and society in general of having schools reach beyond their core purpose. Required reading for anyone interested in the contemporary provision of welfare services.” Carol Vincent, UCL Institute of Education, emerita
