This report sets out findings of a rapid-ethnographic research project commissioned by The Children’s Society and conducted by a research team from Aston University into the experiences of families living in Kingshurst – a neighbourhood within the metropolitan borough of Solihull in the West Midlands. 2. Statistics have shown that there are high levels of deprivation in the area; with child poverty ranging from 50% in Babbs Mill North to 16% in Babbs Mill South. This variation hides the different socio-economic position and mixed needs of local residents. 3. The project consisted of the production of an evidence summary, and interviews and observations with professionals and families living in the area. We spent time at sessions for pre-school children, attended local schools, and went to a range of organised children’s activities and other community activities. 4. There were two main limitations to the fieldwork. First, there were a number of other research activities ongoing in the area that had a significant impact on recruitment and limited what some informants shared with us. The second limitation was that we would have preferred to have had more contact with young people. 5. We found that there were three different groups of families living in the area. Each of the family groups represents different geographical and social network relationships: . Established families: Families with strong roots in the area . Settled families: Families who chose to live in Kingshurst, but plan to move on . Transitory families: Newly arrived families who have few local connections Each of these groups have different needs in terms of local services, and it is unlikely thatthat a single strategy will be able to meet their diverse needs. 6. Stigma is a significant issue for people living in the area. Many families reported incidents when they were judged or patronised rather than supported by local services or professionals, and disliked high levels of surveillance over family life. Reducing the stigmatisation of families is essential if trust of service providers is to be increased. 7. The majority of issues for Established and Settled families are structural in origin. They have need of better housing and decent jobs, but are well equipped to make full use of the resources they have access to in order to help their children reach their full Page | 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY potential. Transitory families would benefit from more community support providing it was available in a non-stigmatising manner. 8. There were marked difference between professionals and families in relation to children’s futures. Some professionals believed that many families in the area lacked aspirations for their children. In contrast, many families believed it was the low expectations of educational professionals that was an issue, whilst they stressed the importance of education in securing a future for their children. 9. For Established families, local ties were often strong

  • Austerity in a Disadvantaged West Midlands Neighbourhood
    Austerity in a disadvantaged West Midlands neighbourhood: Everyday experiences of families and family support professionals Demelza Jones, University of Gloucestershire (corresponding author – [email protected]) Pam Lowe, Aston University Karen West, University of Bristol Abstract This article examines everyday effects of austerity in Kingshurst – a disadvantaged urban neighbourhood in the West Midlands. It draws on qualitative data gathered from local families with children, and public and third sector professionals working in the area in family support services. While some of the issues raised are common to other disadvantaged communities across the UK, we recognise that austerity is experienced in specific socio-spatial context: in this case, Kingshurst’s circumstance of deprivation within a local authority borough that (as a whole) is above averagely affluent. This shaped the ways that residents and professionals framed the disadvantage they encountered in their everyday lives and work, in particular strengthening understandings of austerity as unfairly and unevenly experienced on the bases of geography and social class, and highlighting territorial stigma towards the neighbourhood by professionals and decision-makers which impeded residents’ engagement with the family support services available to them locally. Key words: Austerity; disadvantage; families; stigma; neighbourhood Introduction Austerity refers to the programmes of fiscal tightening adopted by most Western governments after the global financial crisis of 2007-8. In the UK context, while the New Labour government adopted limited austerity measures in the immediate aftermath of the crisis, it was following the 2010 general election and the formation of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition that austerity emerged as a central policy project - extended and deepened under subsequent Conservative governments since 2015.
