Project background

SCIE would like to thank ATD Fourth World, and Matt Davies and Mo Roberts in particular, for helping SCIE to successfully involve the families in this project. We would also like to thank all the families themselves, who peer reviewed the resources, advised on their content and allowed us to film them in a series of video interviews, where they shared their insights into living with poverty.

Please visit the ATD fourth world website to find out more about their work.
