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
