A recent report from the Universities Accord recommended paid placements to help students with the cost of living and to help people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds finish their placements and complete their degrees.

This is one of the many recommendations from the Universities Accord that I am advocating for and I want to hear from young people, people who experienced placement poverty first hand, and anyone who financially supported a child or family member through an unpaid placement about how they think paid placements could help.
