Abstract

The Get Heard Scotland (GHS) at The Poverty Alliance, is a programme designed to engage with members of communities affected by poverty and those working at the grassroots level regarding the development and implementation of policies intended to address poverty and social injustice. The Get Heard programme inputs independent feedback into policy processes, focused on the commitments made by the Scottish Government in the Every child, every chance: child poverty delivery plan 2018–2022 in Scotland (CPDP). As part of this work interview research has been undertaken with 32 families across two local authorities in Scotland during the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter will highlight the experiences of low-income families within a devolved policy context and provide insights into their lived experiences as well as reflections on conducting research during the pandemic.
