ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The research for this report would not have been possible without the co-operation and willingness to provide information by the staff in Dumfries and Galloway and Glasgow Councils and the pilot projects. Their names are given in Appendix 1. We are very grateful to them all.

We are also grateful for the advice and support we received throughout the project from Frauke Sinclair, Branch Head Social Inclusion Research, and Helen Chambers, Child Poverty Team Leader, both in the Executive's Development Department.

Any errors in the Report and the interpretations we have placed upon information are, however, solely our responsibility.
