B111. Social Mobility

Social mobility is a growing priority in further education, with increasing focus on how providers identify and support learners facing socioeconomic disadvantage. This practical, inspection-aware webinar explores how disadvantage affects learner participation, achievement, and progression and what providers can do to close those gaps.

What you'll learn: 

• What is social mobility 


• Why it's relevant to FE 


• How disadvantage can show up 


• How can we reduce the impact of disadvantage on our learners


• This session draws on inspection practice, national data, and real provider contexts. Participants will gain practical insight into identifying disadvantage, targeting effective interventions, strengthening CIAG, and demonstrating impact in ways that matter to inspectors and, most importantly, to learners’ futures.

• FE leaders


• Managers


• Governors


• Staff involved in learner support, curriculum, and quality assurance
