This TACTYC funded research highlights the role that Maintained Nursery Schools (MNS) play in supporting families within areas of extreme social deprivation in the UK. Data collected through survey and interview demonstrated the positive impact that these schools have upon disadvantaged children and their families, providing a breadth and depth of ongoing care, against a backdrop of ongoing fiscal cuts and uncertainty. Often this provision was in lieu of the reported minimisation of other social services support for struggling families. We argue in this paper that the loss of these state institutions could be highly detrimental to the families that they currently support.

“还剩下什么……？”：失去对英格兰弱势儿童和家庭的维护托儿所的影响

这项由 TACTYC 资助的研究突出了维护托儿所 (MNS) 在支持英国极端社会贫困地区家庭方面的作用。通过调查和采访收集的数据表明，在持续的财政削减和不确定性的背景下，这些学校对弱势儿童及其家庭产生了积极影响，提供了广度和深度的持续护理。通常，这一规定代替了据报道对困难家庭的其他社会服务支持的最小化。我们在本文中认为，失去这些国家机构可能会对他们目前支持的家庭造成极大的损害。
