Social mobility ‘cold spot’ Cambridge - in pursuit of equality
-
- Documentary
Cambridge has long been a social mobility ‘coldspot’, a fact exacerbated by the pandemic.
The city ranks in the lowest 20 percent of local authorities across the UK. For a child from a disadvantaged background, the chances of doing well at school and getting a good job in Cambridge are very low. The impact of Covid-19 threatens to significantly widen the social mobility gap still further.
In this episode we talk to Nigel Howlett, the CEO of the CHS Group, which provides housing, care and community services in Cambridge and Paula Bishop, Children & Young People’s Services Manager, Cambridge City Council. We also hear from a trustee of the Red Hen Project and from Ryan Kelsall, Deputy CEO of the Eastern Learning Alliance and from Sam Fox, Principal of North Cambridge Academy.
