Students at St Kentigern's Academy in West Lothian, Scotland want to raise awareness of child poverty in the UK. Many children in the UK live in poverty, but what does it actually mean day today? This trailer previews a longer film that captures the challenges faced by David, a young person living below the poverty line.

St Kentigern's is part of UNICEF UK's Rights Respecting Schools programme. This video is part of Seen and HEARD, a resource for secondary schools featuring a DVD of a longer, nine-minute version of the Seen and HEARD film and supporting lesson suggestions.
