Fair access and widening participation in England's universities - next steps for policy

26 November 2012, Central London

Guests of Honour: Professor Les Ebdon, Director, Office for Fair Access and Rt Hon Alan Milburn, Independent Reviewer on Social Mobility and Child Poverty, HM Government.

This timely seminar will bring together key policymakers with stakeholders - including schools, colleges, universities, social action groups and regulators - to discuss how greater participation from disadvantaged groups can be achieved, and how fair access to England's universities can be furthered.

The seminar will be timed to follow Alan Milburn's report on fair access to universities, due to be released this spring and in light of the widened powers given to the Office for Fair Access as a result of the increase in tuition fees.
