Shaping a society that gives everyone a fair chance

This year marks 15 years since the passage of the Child Poverty Act 2010. The Act is our founding legislation, establishing us as the only independent statutory body for social mobility in the UK.

What is social mobility?

A person experiences social mobility when they have different life outcomes from their parents. This could mean a different income level, a different occupational class, or other differences, such as housing or education. Mobility can be upwards or downwards.
