Are schools becoming an emergency service for pupils and their families?
A survey, commissioned by the 大象传媒, shows almost half of schools in England have provided financial support for families in the last 12 months.
In this episode of 5 Minutes On, Elaine Dunkley, the 大象传媒's Education Correspondent, has visited a primary school which keeps a stock of 'grab bags', pre-packed with essentials for children who have suddenly become homeless.
