Research
It is only by understanding the root causes of educational inequalities that the Trust can identify and promote effective solutions to combating them, so research is an important and growing part of our work. Our scope in this area is broad, ranging from early years to university access, and reflects the varied obstacles facing young people from non-privileged backgrounds. Some research is conducted in house in response to specific issues or events, while other projects – particularly more in-depth and specialist studies – are commissioned from external bodies, expert in the relevant field.
