(Not) Moving on up: How can we increase social mobility?

1530-1645, Tuesday 1 October 2024 | Watershed, Bristol

The notion of social mobility has been a cornerstone of UK policy for decades. Despite this, we are witnessing a significant decline in social mobility in the UK. Join our expert panel as they unpick the policy interventions needed to ensure equality of opportunity, for individuals, and long-term socio-economic prosperity, for the nation. This event will consider the causes of the current social mobility slowdown to explore strategies to reignite social mobility across the whole of the UK.

Speakers: Mehreen Khan (The Times, chair), Lindsey Macmillan (University College London and Centre for Education Policy and Equalising Opportunities), Suzanne Rolt (Arnolfini), David Sturrock (Institute for Fiscal Studies)
