IntroductionMillions of UK residents are worrying about multiple issues such as money, housing, health and caring responsibilities. Individual insecurities may build up and combine. They may prevent households using their opportunities, including the primary education, adult skills training and work opportunities which Levelling Up aims to provide. They may harm well-being, and limit productivity. Perceived insecurities may have different psychological and behavioural effects to other kinds of disadvantages. Insecurities may mean some people may not be able to benefit from Levelling Up, and Levelling Up may not be able to achieve its full potential.Policy background: Many past local growth and regeneration projects have been very successful, but many have not met all their goals, and progress has been more difficult for some so-called 'left behind' areas and so-called 'hard to reach' groups of people. Multiple insecurities may provide a partial explanation. Some key individual insecurities have grown in prevalence over time. The research questionsOur two main research questions are: 1. How do people's experiences of multiple insecurities in a place impact their ability to participate in and benefit from Levelling Up?2. How can policies and policymakers reduce insecurities and join-up better to improve well-being, opportunity and Levelling Up? In addition, we want to know how many people experience multiple insecurities, in what combinations, where are they, and what are the implications for those who experience them? And what is the lived and felt experience of multiple insecurities, what policies and stakeholders are implicated in these risks, and what can they do together to de-risk lives and aid Levelling Up? Research methodsWe will focus on certain insecurities (food insecurity, debt, income fluctuations, eviction or loss of housing, problems with health and caring responsibilities), and outcomes relevant to Levelling Up (performance at primary school, skills, employment and wellbeing). Over ten months, we will explore multiple insecurities using mixed methods, including:-Discussion with policymakers about multiple insecurities, and what they know and want to learn about them,-Evidence reviews of individual and multiple insecurities, their prevalence and impacts, and of promising approaches in addressing multiple insecurities,-Quantitative analysis on the same topics across the UK using Understanding Society supplemented by other sources,-New qualitative data collection, which will involve researchers talking with 24-30 people experiencing multiple insecurities in three diverse areas in England about their lived experience of insecurities, the effects, and who might be able to mitigate them, with an artist drawing alongside to record responses and to elicit new insights, and other visual and story methods,-Discussion with policymakers and people identified as potential 'risk influencers' on what they could do to 'derisk' people's lives, based on personas created from case study stories.We have considered and tried to mitigate risks, and ethical concerns. We have some evidence of policymaker and practitioner interest in our ideas, although its origins did not allow comprehensive consultation.Outputs and disseminationThe call demands thought leadership, and we hope to provide this through developing and evidencing a new interdisciplinary concept, 'multiple insecurity'. We have built dissemination to some policymakers into the project. We will also produce final presentations to policymakers; a final report and policy briefs; mapping, and other visual and story information; academic seminars, conference papers; working papers and journal articles; and material for deposit with UK Data Archive. We hope to see growth in the use of the concept, citation of our work, some changes in Levelling Up policy and some changes in practice, as a result of our work.

简介数百万英国居民正在担心金钱、住房、健康和照顾责任等多重问题。个人的不安全感可能会累积并结合起来。它们可能会阻止家庭利用其机会，包括 Leveling Up 旨在提供的初等教育、成人技能培训和工作机会。它们可能会损害健康并限制生产力。感知到的不安全感可能会对其他类型的不利因素产生不同的心理和行为影响。不安全感可能意味着一些人可能无法从 Leveling Up 中受益，而 Leveling Up 也可能无法充分发挥其潜力。 政策背景：过去许多地方发展和重建项目都非常成功，但许多项目并未达到其全部目标对于一些所谓“落后”地区和所谓“难以到达”的人群来说，取得进展更加困难。多重不安全感可能提供部分解释。随着时间的推移，一些关键的个人不安全感日益普遍。研究问题 我们的两个主要研究问题是： 1. 人们在一个地方经历的多重不安全感如何影响他们参与升级并从中受益的能力？2.政策和政策制定者如何减少不安全感并更好地联合起来，以改善福祉、机会和升级？此外，我们想知道有多少人经历过多种不安全感，它们以何种组合出现，它们在哪里，以及对经历这些不安全感的人有什么影响？多重不安全感的生活和感受是什么？这些风险涉及哪些政策和利益相关者？他们可以共同采取哪些措施来降低生命风险并帮助提升水平？研究方法我们将重点关注某些不安全因素（粮食不安全、债务、收入波动、被驱逐或失去住房、健康和照顾责任问题）以及与升级相关的结果（小学表现、技能、就业和福祉）。在十个月的时间里，我们将使用混合方法探讨多重不安全因素，包括： - 与政策制定者讨论多重不安全因素以及他们对这些不安全因素的了解和想要了解的内容， - 对个人和多重不安全因素及其普遍性和影响的证据审查，以及解决多重不安全感的有前途的方法，-使用理解社会并辅以其他来源对英国各地的相同主题进行定量分析，-新的定性数据收集，其中将涉及研究人员与 24-30 名经历多重不安全感的人进行交谈英格兰三个不同地区的不安全感，关于他们的不安全感生活经历、影响以及谁能够减轻这些不安全感，艺术家在旁边记录反应并引发新的见解，以及其他视觉和故事方法，-与根据案例研究故事创建的角色，政策制定者和人们被确定为潜在的“风险影响者”，以了解他们可以采取哪些措施来“消除”人们的生命风险。我们已经考虑并尝试减轻风险和道德问题。我们有一些证据表明政策制定者和实践者对我们的想法感兴趣，尽管其起源不允许进行全面协商。产出和传播呼吁需要思想领导力，我们希望通过发展和证明一个新的跨学科概念“多重不安全”来提供这一点。我们已在该项目中向一些政策制定者进行了传播。我们还将向政策制定者提供最终报告；最终报告和政策简报；地图以及其他视觉和故事信息；学术研讨会、会议论文；工作文件和期刊文章；以及存放在英国数据档案馆的材料。我们希望看到概念的使用、我们工作的引用、升级政策的一些变化以及实践中的一些变化，作为我们工作的结果。
