It is a dynamic picture and subject to change as new evidence, interventions and support measures are introduced. Because of this, groups initially included have been removed, and conversely new evidence or interventions may emerge that highlights ways in which other groups, not included here, are being particularly affected.

156. People's Panel evidence comes from previously unpublished data from research events on 24 June and 23 September 2022. The People's Panel is made up of around 30 diverse members of the public - recruited to ensure a wide range of experiences of, and attitudes towards, the COVID-19 pandemic.

157. Qualitative research was carried out on behalf of Scottish Government by JRS in August 2022 with low income families potentially exposed to child poverty. The sample represented each of the six core most at risk segments: lone parents; families with a disabled parent or child; larger families - those with 3 or more children; minority ethnic families; families where the youngest child is aged up to 1 year; young mothers – aged under 25 years. The research consisted of an ethnographic video diary task followed by online in-depth interviews with 35 participants and in home and community face-to-face immersion sessions with 14 participants. All respondents were either receiving benefits, within the DE socio-economic groups (SEGs), or, living within the most deprived SIMD communities, and stated they are currently facing 'challenges with their household finances'.

158. The methodology also included 2 mini groups (3 respondents each) and 4 one to one depth interviews with stakeholders who represented organisations and job functions that focus on supporting parents and their children, e.g. Family Nurses, Health Visitors, charity and family support group workers.
