TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the relationship between economic inequality and out-of-home care and child protection interventions and show that there is a strong relationship between deprivation and intervention rates and large inequalities between ethnic categories.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose to see supply (bias) and demand (risk) factors as two aspects of a single system, both framed, in part, by social structures.

TL;DR: A Nuffield Foundation funded study as mentioned in this paper examined the role of deprivation in explaining differences in key children's services interventions between and within Local Authorities (LAs) and found very large inequalities in rates of child welfare interventions within and between LA's, systematically related to levels of deprivation.

TL;DR: In this article, the intersection of deprivation with aspects of identity (gender, disability, ethnicity and age) was examined, and a decreasing gender gap was found to increase the proportion of children in need to be disabled as deprivation increases.

TL;DR: The relationship between children's material circumstances and child abuse and neglect raises a series of questions for policy, practice, and practitioners as mentioned in this paper, and the need for fresh approaches to the harms children and families face in order to support practices that engage confidently with the consequences of poverty and deprivation.
