Abstract
Background: Since the introduction of the Child Poverty Act (2017) and the requirement that all local authorities develop and deliver Child Poverty Action Plans the so called ‘Financial Inclusion Pathway’ (FIP) emerged in 2019 as one of a number of strategies intended to tackle child poverty in Scotland. This has required health visitors, midwives and family nurses in Scotland to screen and offer a financial advice referral to at-risk pregnant women and parents/carers of families with children under five in Scotland. The aim of this approach is income maximisation. At this early implementation stage, little is known about the those health professional's perspectives about this initiative in relation to its aim. So this study was developed on the basis of informing the Grampian child Poverty Action plan to determine those health professional experiences. It's also fair to say that there is increasing interest in healthcare professionals and healthcare systems in addressing health in addressing social and economic risk factors during routine care and it's against this backdrop that this study was undertaken.
