About this event

  • Event lasts 35 days 2 hours

In this course you’ll delve into the history of both poverty and inequality, with a focus on child poverty and health inequalities in the UK. Alongside a global look at the issues, you’ll look at why these problems matter and the social policies surrounding them.

The course will guide you through using these insights to offer solutions to these issues. You’ll look through the lens of different perspectives, such as Prime Minister, Activist, Student, and Footballer to see how we might solve poverty and inequality in the UK.

We will be following a course developed by the University of York. Understanding and Solving Poverty and Inequality - Online Course - FutureLearn
