Latest findings from Policy in Practice's data led investigation into the causes and consequences of poverty in London were presented on 20 September 2018.
We recently shared the latest findings from our pan-london analysis of living standards, tracking 600,000 low income families across 19 London boroughs over two years. The work is unique in its use of large scale administrative data, linked over time, and its ability to look forward at poverty projections for individual households. The approach is being used by a dozen local authorities across the UK to target support.
Highlights from Phase Three include:
Low income Londoners are becoming less financially resilient. The proportion of Londoners with low financial resilience has grown by 20% in the last two years, and will continue to grow through to 2020
Employment helps build financial resilience. Employment is the main driver of people improving their financial resilience; for people affected, welfare reforms are a driver of lower resilience, but they don’t tell the full story
Living standards fluctuate. Over two years a quarter of low income households in work lost their job at least once; improving job stability can help build resilience
The future isn’t bright. Londoners on low incomes face a bleak future with an average drop in their disposable income of £100 p/w if rents and other livings costs continue to rise as expected.

Low Income Londoners and Welfare Reform: a data-led investigation into the ca...Policy in Practice
Policy in Practice has embarked on an ambitious project to track changing living standards for almost one million Londoners over the course of two years, on a monthly basis.
This work combines data from 14 London boroughs to track changes across 444,000 low income households made up of 550,000 adults and 350,000 children, representing 27% of the overall population living in the participating boroughs.
Deven Ghelani shared findings from Phase One of the project at IntoWork 2017.
Collaborating on data sharing allows us to:
• Combine data across London in order to benchmark changes, offering a large enough sample to understand niche areas such as self-employment or temporary housing.
• Track households to understand the causal drivers of poverty and prosperity on a systematic basis.
Policy in Practice works with local authorities to show the cumulative impact of tax and benefit changes on individual households, both now and in the future. This project builds on this with a longitudinal data model, simulation engine and visualisation platform to make this information accessible to policymakers and offer a deeper understanding of poverty.
We look forward to welcoming even more local authorities to the project as we progress to Phase two.
To find out more, and to request the full report, please email hello@policyinpractice.co.uk. We look forward to hearing from you.

This presentation by Ambrose Kibuuka is a part of IRC’s in-house “What’s for Lunch series”, It reviews progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for sanitation and hygiene, sector trends focusing on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and sanitation marketing, and how rich nations achieved universal access to sanitation. It also briefly looks at WASH linkages with climate change, stunting, nutrition, and gender and social inclusion. The presentation concludes that unsafely managed sanitation, especially in rural areas, remains a challenge in developing countries as a result of population growth, climate change and the lack of funding for on-site sanitation and faecal sludge removal. Systems strengthening (in particular access to financing) and strong public commitment are required to achieve universal access to sanitation by 2030. The presentation includes a list of 21 references.
Planning in the region starts with a vision about what we want to be. It is the aspiration of the Filipinos particularly those from SOCCSKSARGEN Region to have a long-term vision for the region and the country as a whole to become a prosperous, predominantly middle class society where no one is poor. The challenge is how every Filipino can afford to have a “matatag, maginhawa at panatag na buhay by 2040.”

GVA partly explained by population growth.
• City has pockets of highly innovative
businesses.
• Footfall declined (pre-COVID) but by less
than other centres.

1. Government initially expecting Coventry to
implement Clean Air Zone.
2. 1% increase in fly-tipping (6,955).
Challenges in recycling (33.4%).
3. Increase in overall crime rates (up 1.9% in
the year to Jan 2020), and reports of hate
crime and domestic abuse. Decline in
youth offending.
4. More five-year-olds in Coventry achieve a
good level of development age 5 BUT
there is an increasing inequality gap.
5. Decrease in pupils attending a
good/outstanding school (performance
remains above national / similar
authorities in primaries [91%] BUT 9%
behind in secondaries [71%]). 100% in
specials.
1. Packages of improvements to delivering
air quality improvements without a CAZ-D
approved.
2. 23% increase in enforcement action
against fly-tippers.
3. Tackling radicalisation through channel
panel to support at risk individuals; new
hate crime panel process to better support
victims; family hub approach to prevent
youth violence.
4. Early Help model to address this – and
termly monitoring of foundation stage
assessments across schools beginning
now.
5. Assessment and examination results
remain strong – there’s an increase in
strong passes (9-5) in GCSEs and Key
Stage 5 is above target.
• Early help and intervention is critical given
potential loss of income and livelihoods for
residents.
Therefore tackling inequalities, for instance,
by building a sustainable economy become
even more critical.

expectancy; and challenges around
obesity – 38.3% of city's year 6 children
(10-11 year olds) are overweight or obese
and four in ten adults are not physically
active.
2. Looked after children rate remains stable
(high) BUT repeat referrals down (24.9%)
and in particular re-referrals down to 7.7%.
3. Increases in demand (+3.6%) – and
satisfaction with adult social care services
(63.1%) – but also increase in inadequate
ratings to 4.2%.
4. More households accepted as statutorily
homeless (913) and more homelessness
cases prevented.
1. Addressing health inequality through Year
of Wellbeing / Wellbeing for Life; and
targeting specific groups where
inequalities around physical activity are
large e.g. women, people with long-term
conditions.
2. Children’s services transformation
“journey to good” continues.
3. Continued work to manage demand for
adult social care.
4. New approaches including Change into
Action and Caradoc Hall.
• Increasing numbers of people requiring
support from social care across Children

• Complexity of needs are increasing
requiring more intensive input.
• Link between local authority social care
spend and levels of income/wealth.
Therefore tackling inequalities together

2. Key challenges around demand-led
services including temporary
accommodation, placements of looked
after children, SEN transport, waste
collection and disposal
3. More people are choosing to interact with
organisations, services and people
through technology - we need to reflect
this in how we operate
4. Rising days lost to sickness absence
(12.71 days per full-time equivalent)
1. Achieving a balanced budget by making
savings – 98% of business rates collected
in-year; 95.5% of Council Tax.
2. Reducing demand – by working with

Talk Coventry, etc.
3. Digital First – 36% transactions online or
self-service; 91% of customer contact
captured (answered).
4. Investing in workplace health and
wellbeing
• Challenges with current financial climate
• Some funding for COVID related activities
at the moment
• No clarity on funding post-Brexit – but as
with the Great Recession in late-2000s we
will need to prepare for a period of further
tightening following the crisis.
• Wider development of Council as an
employer of choice – setting the pace for
the city
Commercialisation becomes even more
critical to ensure our financial
sustainability; digital first to adapt how we
