Poverty in the UK

Sarah Best

27th November 2019

This short documentary from Channel 4 News follows the lives of some residents in Jaywick, Essex.

A severe housing shortage has resulted in some residents living in prefab buildings and chalets that were originally meant for holidaymakers.

The video could be used for the Family and Households unit, and Work, Poverty and Welfare (deprivation).
