Dreda Say Mitchell: Family, Faith and Community
Dreda Say Mitchell says it is time cultural institutions like family, faith and and community were put at the centre of the debate about social mobility.
Author Dreda Say Mitchell argues that the importance of cultural institutions like family, faith and community has been ignored in the debate about social mobility.
Born into an extended working-class family, she found her own upbringing was influenced by each of these institutions, and she believes their importance in promoting social mobility has been underestimated.
