This Conference will help us unpack the issue and begin to see what part we might play. We will hear from a number of speakers including: Jane Haynes, Politics and People Editor, Birmingham Live and Chris Shannahan, Associate Professor in Political Theology at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations, Coventry University, who have researched child poverty and austerity and have articulated challenges for us.
