Event details
Recent governments have set out to 'narrow' or even 'close' socio-economic achievement and participation gaps.
This session will explore what progress was made in narrowing these gaps under New Labour from 1997 to 2010, consider what policies made a difference (either ostensibly or substantively), and assess future prospects under current Government policies.
