Time for change: An assessment of government policies on social mobility

OVERVIEW

This report finds that:

• Government policies to improve social mobility have failed to deliver enough progress
• Calls on current and future governments to learn lessons from mistakes and successes over the last 20 years
• Warns that without major reform social and economic divisions within Britain's society are set to widen
• Assigns rag ratings to government policies depending on how successful government has translated policy into social outcomes
• Makes recommendations to government
