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.

数以百万计的英国居民都在担心诸如金钱、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在一起。他们可能会阻止家庭利用他们的机会，包括初级教育、成人技能培训和工作机会，这些都是levelup旨在提供的。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劣势产生不同的心理和行为影响。不安全感可能意味着有些人可能无法从Levelling Up中获益，而Levelling Up可能无法发挥其全部潜力。政策背景：过去的许多地方发展和再生项目都非常成功，但很多项目并没有达到所有的目标，对于一些所谓的“落后”地区和所谓的“难以接触”的人群来说，进展更加困难。多重不安全感可能提供了部分解释。随着时间的推移，一些关键的个人不安全感变得越来越普遍。研究问题我们的两个主要研究问题是：1。人们在一个地方多重不安全感的经历如何影响他们参与并从升级中获益的能力？政策和政策制定者如何才能减少不安全感，更好地联合起来，以改善福祉、机会和提升水平？此外，我们想知道有多少人经历过多重不安全感，以何种组合，在哪里，以及对那些经历过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，哪些政策和利益相关者与这些风险有关，他们可以共同做些什么来降低生活风险并帮助“升级”？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、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、就业和福利）。在十个多月的时间里，我们将使用混合方法探索多种不安全感，包括：-与政策制定者讨论多种不安全感，以及他们所知道和想要了解的信息，-对个人和多种不安全感的证据审查，其流行程度和影响，以及解决多种不安全感的有希望的方法，-使用“理解社会”对英国各地相同主题进行定量分析，并辅以其他来源，-新的定性数据收集，这将涉及研究人员与24-30名在英国三个不同地区经历多重不安全感的人谈论他们的不安全感生活经历，影响，以及谁可能能够减轻他们，艺术家在旁边画画，记录他们的反应，并引发新的见解，以及其他视觉和故事方法，与政策制定者和被确定为潜在“风险影响者”的人讨论他们可以做些什么来“冒险”人们的生命；基于从案例研究故事中创建的角色。我们已经考虑并试图减轻风险和道德问题。我们有一些证据表明，政策制定者和从业者对我们的想法感兴趣，尽管它的起源不允许全面咨询。产出和传播这一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“多重不安全感”来提供这一点。我们在项目中向一些决策者进行了宣传。我们还将向政策制定者提交最终报告；最后报告和政策简报；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；与英国数据档案馆的存款材料。我们希望看到，由于我们的工作，这一概念的使用、我们工作的引用、升级政策的一些变化和实践的一些变化都有所增加。
