The forum discussed how the risk of poverty for people in institutional care can be reduced. Participants included experts and organisations representing prisoners, immigration detainees, looked after children, and people with disabilities and mental health problems in institutional settings.
- What strategies can reduce the risks of poverty associated with forms of institutional care?
- What is the evidence base and how can it be improved?
These were the key questions that were discussed at this forum.
Participants included experts and organisations representing prisoners, immigration detainees, looked after children and people with disabilities and mental health problems.
