Are schools becoming an emergency service for pupils and their families? A survey, commissioned by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, 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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'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.
