If we want to map the way towards educational equity we need to make sure policy makers have the right information to guide their decisions. This interactive live session looks to explore how policy makers can secure the accurate, timely, holistic and actionable information they need in order to make decisions that promote equity. The session kicks off with a presentation by Loic Menzies in which he summarises the key themes from a recent expert roundtable hosted in Cambridge. Participants were then asked to to contribute their own thoughts and ideas in breakout rooms. After another brief presentation by Loic, audience comments and questions were addressed. Thank you to all who participated - it was a great discussion and some valuable ideas and insights were generated. The aim is for each discussion in this series contribute to building an incredibly rich body of thinking, which participants will have played a critical role in helping to develop.
