The Social Mobility Scrutiny Panel was established to “investigate the state of social mobility within the borough and practical steps which can be taken to ensure that a child’s outcomes are no longer capped “by those of their parents”.

Its purpose was to analyse, review and understand a local (and national) perspective on the extent of the problem, together with the main challenges in delivering greater social mobility and practical steps which can be taken by Crawley Borough Council and other organisations to improve the life chances of those growing up in Crawley

The report documents the Panel’s findings together with any developing outcomes within the Council which may assist in steering or influencing service priorities, whilst also reviewing any partnership working and identifying any improvements.
