Upcoming event

The Bridge Group is offering a series of free, on-line webinars, offering practical guidance to organisations that are new to collecting socio-economic background data.

In Spring 2025 (date to be confirmed) we will hold a practical session looking at setting targets for socio-economic diversity in the workforce.

If you missed the first in the series, Collecting socio-economic background data: Practical guidance for employers, you can watch the recording here.

In the second of the series, Using socio-economic background data to inform action, we looked at how the findings from the data can inform policy and practice, leading to robust evaluation of different approaches, and the assessment of progress over time. You can watch a recording of the event here.
