This edited book is about child poverty in Wales, specifically in a
local school-community that identified its causes and effects, the
challenges it poses for schooling future generations, and a series
of local solutions that personify Wales’s devolved governments’
social democratic social imaginary. These responses all markedly
contrast those of conservative UK Westminster governments espousing
neoliberal logics for a global economy in consecutive prime
ministers’ hallmark policies – Thatcher’s
de-industrialisation, Cameron’s austerity, Johnson’s Brexit and
Global Britain agenda, Truss’s Net Zero agenda, and Sunak’s new
economic agenda in an effort to reunite the Conservative Party and
win back public as well as business confidence. These policy
agendas are invariably policy failures that play out for children
and young people in their lived experiences of poverty and
inequalities, and that find expression in social emergencies and
humanitarian disasters apropos the cost of living crises, for
example, as documented in this volume.
