Overcoming the long-term effects of Child Poverty was the theme of a conference in Sefton today.
Opportunities to get into higher education and the greater possibilities this can open up for young people who have grown up in poverty, were among the topics covered.
Reflecting this, the four Conference discussion sessions were Prospects Through Education and Skills, Cradle to Career, Prospects Through Solid Foundations in Early Years, and Prospects through Place, which covered regeneration and employment.
Over 80 invited representatives from the public and private, health, charity, voluntary sectors as well as community organisations attended the event, held at Bootle Cricket Club.
Among the speakers, was Professor Joe Yates Pro Vice Chancellor of Liverpool John Moores University who spoke about the link between those in the criminal system and childhood poverty. In his address, Professor Yates stressed the importance of working together to tackle income deprivation and ensure good childhood wellbeing, as well as listening to those with lived experience.
From Cradle to Career was the theme of a presentation by Andrea Watts, the Council’s Executive Director for People while Stephen Watson, its Executive Director for Place focused on the importance of Regeneration and Employment.
Nigel Bellamy, the Deputy Chief Executive, Sefton CVS talked about Early Years and Sefton’s Director of Public Health Margaret Jones closed the event.
Cllr Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing, who opened the Conference said:
“When we talk about child poverty, we tend to think of small children and the problems their families face with the day-to-day challenges of paying bills and putting food on the table.
“Almost one in six under 16s in Sefton live in relative poverty and the effects of a start living on or close to the breadline are likely to follow those 8,000-plus young people through the rest their lives.
“As well as the impact on their physical and mental health, childhood poverty results in those young people achieving lower results through education, which in turn reduces their prospects in terms of accessing higher education and well-paid work.”
Research shows that in addition to lower educational attainment, young people who have grown up in poverty miss out on the life chances and influences that from which others benefit.

Cllr Moncur, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing for said:
“Young people who have grown up in households without the day-in-day-out pressures of poverty often have family members, friends and acquaintances who can provide inspiration and be role models, supporting and mentoring them through education, work and planning their future.
“These important influences, which can be taken for granted, are often simply not available to young people from poorer households.
“In Sefton, as well as supporting the households where young children are growing up in poverty conditions, we are working to fill that opportunity gap faced by young people.
“Last year we launched the Sefton Caring Business Charter through which businesses commit to support care experienced and other vulnerable young people access the world of work and I’m pleased to say we already have over 60 of the Borough’s businesses signed up.
“Thanks to the Charter we now regularly publish Sefton Beacon summarising opportunities for employment, work experience, mentoring, training, mock interviews, site visits and presentations aimed at those young people.”
Launched in December last year, Sefton Council’s Childhood Poverty Strategy sets out a blueprint for a local approach to tackling child poverty in Sefton, with actions linked to people’s finances, prospects, and places. This means increasing opportunity in employment and education and supporting the most vulnerable members of its communities.
Key to its aims is identifying and building upon the many areas of work contributing to helping children and their families overcome the effects of poverty, which are already making Sefton a leading Borough in this field.
Cllr Hardy added:
“While we may not be able to prevent childhood poverty, we can continue doing all we can not to make it a life sentence to restricted prospects, reduced earnings and all-round lack of fulfilment that can be passed on to the next generation.
“We won’t solve the issues with this month’s event, but we can look at all the individual initiatives that are working in Sefton to see how we can pull them together better and fine tune them to ensure all our young people have the opportunities they deserve, whatever their backgrounds.”

A significant number of households possess several autos these days, particularly people with mature teenage kids still located at home, as well as savings on policies can certainly soon begin. So it is a good idea to look for a good deal.

Thanks for your post made here. One thing I’d like to say is that often most professional job areas consider the Bachelors Degree just as the entry level requirement for an online course. While Associate College diplomas are a great way to start, completing your own Bachelors opens many entrance doors to various professions, there are numerous online Bachelor Diploma Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another thing is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online editions of their diplomas but typically for a substantially higher amount of money than the corporations that specialize in online diploma plans.

Another thing I’ve really noticed is the fact that for many people, bad credit is the results of circumstances over and above their control. For example they may have been saddled through an illness so they really have large bills going to collections. It might be due to a occupation loss or even the inability to go to work. Sometimes breakup can send the finances in a downward direction. Many thanks sharing your thinking on this blog site.

I also believe that mesothelioma is a uncommon form of cancer that is typically found in individuals previously exposed to asbestos. Cancerous tissue form from the mesothelium, which is a protecting lining that covers the vast majority of body’s internal organs. These cells typically form within the lining on the lungs, mid-section, or the sac which encircles one’s heart. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

One thing is that when you find yourself searching for a education loan you may find that you’ll need a cosigner. There are many scenarios where this is true because you might discover that you do not possess a past credit standing so the lender will require you have someone cosign the money for you. Interesting post.
