CBI responds to Social Mobility Commission Report

Matthew Fell, CBI Chief UK Policy Director, said:

“Social mobility is fundamental to people feeling that the economy is working for them.  Most companies understand their responsibilities and want to do even more to support the next generation of talented people from all backgrounds.

“Companies succeed when they embrace life-long learning and work with schools and colleges to give young people the best start in life.  That’s why the Government must end the financial neglect of England’s further education system and carefully consider this recommendation as part of its Spending Review.”
