Summary
Kids in Edinburgh are quietly suffering—struggling with food, clothes, and housing—because of their immigration status and a policy called “no recourse to public funds.” Schools don’t always know, families rarely volunteer the info, and moving homes can disrupt education. Though free school meals are safe, other support systems are out of reach, leaving families in crisis. Councils are scrambling to help, but the number of affected children is rising fast—up threefold in recent years—and the problem’s only getting bigger.
