Louise, Anne I'd be very interested in this area too. We are reviewing this at the moment at UCLan too to see what SEC data for students is available to us.

I engage with it through a working group and WP Committee. I am aware that a range of equality data and monitoring is carried out and this is being reviewed to comply with new monitoring requirements from HEFCE. If you'd like more information, I can put in touch with the officer leading on this work.

In my view there is a clear connection with widening participation activity, but I would be interested to hear to what extent this issue is engaged with, monitoring and analysis you might undertake, and how this might influence student support and provision.
