Why we need to track socio-economic diversity to break the class ceiling

  • Purpose Coalition's Breaking Down Barriers Tent at Labour Party Conference 34 Kings Parade England, L3 4ER United Kingdom (map)

The class system in Britain is entrenched - it holds back opportunity and economic growth. Labour has promised to enact the socio-economic duty in the Equality Act, but how can it be done in a way that delivers better job opportunities, social justice, and a fairer society for all?

Speakers

  • Sandy Begbie CBE, Chief Executive of Scottish Financial Enterprise

  • Gordon McKee, MP for Glasgow South

  • Lord Walney, Chair

  • Sean Duffy, CEO of The Wise Group

  • Victoria Carson, Engagement and Influence Director of The Wise Group

Hosted by the Purpose Coalition, in partnership with The Wise Group.

This event takes place in the Purpose Coalition’s Breaking Down Barriers Tent at Labour Party Conference, just next to the ACC and Pullman Hotel.
