Supporting a Widening of Participation in Higher Education

On grounds of equity, social cohesion and economic performance we believe that the UK must help everyone to aspire and realise his or her potential. We appreciate and have articulated the business benefits of having a diverse workforce.

Hence CIHE:

• support academia engaging students from non-traditional backgrounds and raising their aspirations
• want employers to show by their recruitment policies and practices that they value such graduates
• will keep this issue under general review
