Social Exclusion: The Sydney Experience
Anglicare has undertaken a longditudinal study revealing confronting evidence of poverty, deprviation and exclusion for many who live in Sydney.
Anglicare used data collected through their Emergency Relief (ER) centres to inform the report. This report endeavours to provide, through statistical analysis, the material reality of poverty – who are the people experiencing it and what are the issues. However, in and of itself, such data can imply but not describe the nature of the experience. In order to provide a clearer picture of poverty, focus groups were conducted across a number of ANGLICARE service sites. Information gathered from these groups has been utilised in this report.
This report presents the story of ER centres and their clients in the following way. It:
- Provides the theoretical framework for understanding the concept of social exclusion
- Explores the demographic characteristics of our service users
- Analyses the type and amount of assistance and other help provided by our ER centres to clients
- Explores further a number of emerging features of social exclusion identifi ed in the literature; and
- Provides some reflections and recommendations for the practice and policy of ER service delivery.
