In a recent membership survey a common pattern is beginning to emerge where school leaders are consistently reporting that they fully recognize that the greatest challenge to children and their family life is unemployment with the most marked impact on those families with low incomes and whose ability to avoid longer-term unemployment outcomes and consequences is limited.
