MPS Event: Tackling Financial Disadvantage in Migrant Households

Description

Tackling Financial Disadvantage in Migrant Households – Research Report Launch

9th October 2024, 12.00-13.30 (online)

Join us for the launch of our report as part of Challenge Poverty Week 2024. Hear about our ongoing work to explore effective solutions and end cycles of poverty and inequality

MPS and our partner organisations have gathered evidence that migrant households face considerable financial disadvantages and barriers to overcoming these which are insufficiently seen or understood in anti-poverty policy measures and interventions. While a great many services and support organisations are working exceptionally hard to support service users, including migrants, the current landscape of provision is not working well to meet migrants’ needs.

This event will present our findings and our ongoing work to explore and design effective solutions through changes to policy and practice.

Speakers include:

Rebecca Kay (Migration Policy Scotland)

Maria Jose Pavez (Grampian Regional Equalities Council)

Marek Balog (Community Renewal Rom Romeha)

John McKendrick (Scottish Poverty and Inequality Research Unit)
