We are pleased to announce the Social Mobility Commission’s inaugural Social mobility symposium 2025.
Held over 2 days – one in London and one in Manchester – the Symposium will challenge conventional thinking about social mobility and will explore innovations, share best practices, and generate debate on how we can take action on some of the critical causes and drivers of socio-economic disadvantage.
We will be bringing together organisations and individuals from across parliament, the public, private and third sector, encompassing the social mobility landscape.
