Additional ItemsContactFor enquiries and further information, please contact ppp-online@shu.ac.uk More InformationSocieties are increasingly divided and existing inequalities are becoming ever greater, with more and more people at risk of being left behind. People across all life stages are experiencing exclusion from society: from the 4.3 million children in the UK currently living in poverty (a third of all children) to those aged 65 and over who make up 79% of those who do not access the internet and are therefore at risk of exclusion from an increasingly digital world. The Covid-19 pandemic has only served to further exacerbate these issues. Research and practice continue to examine issues of exclusion and propose ways to address them; helping to promote more inclusive societies. This may be through giving a voice to marginalised and disadvantaged communities shut out from access to safe housing or providing evidence to underpin the potential to deliver more inclusive economies. It can also include the co-designing research that places the user at the heart of the process or research that supports just transitions to net zero. | |||||||||||||||
