OverviewThis book looks at the interventions set up over the last decade to encourage people from lower socioeconomic groups and ethnic minority backgrounds, children in care, disabled people and older learners to enter Higher Education, and identifies which worked - and why. As returns for Higher Education rapidly diminish and funds to support access for under-represented groups dwindle, the arguments for access to HE have to be more sophisticated and the work with underrepresented groups more efficient, focusing on their specific contexts and needs. The book shows how this is done. It is thus an essential tool for those tasked with widening access to HE at both strategic and operational level in universities, schools, colleges and the voluntary sector.
