The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission have produced a report that calls on politicians of all parties to explain what they want to achieve when it comes to tackling poverty and improving mobility, and how, if elected, they plan to do so. It warns that it would be easy for the consensus on social mobility and child poverty to evaporate in the face of significant financial, economic and political headwinds. It calls on politicians of all parties to shore up that consensus or risk Britain becoming a permanently divided nation.
In particular it calls on the parties to set out what action they would take in five priority areas: Redeploying spending to maximise social progress Restarting the twin engines of social mobility: Education and Housing Realigning policy on the working poor Refocusing on opening up the top of British society Rebuilding a coalition in the country behind less poverty and more mobilityLocal copy of Bridging_the_Social_Divide_Report.pdf
