Parenting and children's resilience in disadvantaged communities - Findings / JRF, Feb 2006

http://www.jrf.org.uk/knowledge/findings/socialpolicy/0096.asp
"There has been relatively little research about the distinctive challenges of bringing up children in disadvantaged areas, nor of children's perspectives on identifying and managing threats. In particular, we know very little about how parents and children promote their children's well-being and safeguard them from day-to-day risks. This research set out to develop understanding of these issues by examining the perspectives of parents and children living in ordinary families in four disadvantaged areas in and around Glasgow."
