By Freddie Whittaker Verified| Schools Week Verified Schools are digging into their own budgets to provide beds and bedding and kitchen appliances like cookers and microwaves to hard-up families as the impact of child poverty worsens. Leaders also warned that plans to cut benefits, particularly for disabled young people, would make matters worse. Schools Week has documented how education settings have increasingly been forced to fill the gaps left by cuts to other public services. To make matters worse, almost a third of children now live in poverty.

Schools Week revealed last year how United Learning, which runs 90 schools, plans to offer staff the chance to opt out of the teachers’ pension scheme in exchange for higher starting salaries of up to £45,000.
