The Sutton Trust’s research team has produced hundreds of research pieces over the years, with many stark statistics demonstrating the inequalities young people from the least advantaged backgrounds face in education and access to the workplace.
But those statistics don’t tell the whole story. We often wonder – what are the individual stories behind the data?
The Sutton Trust is a unique organisation, bringing together research work with programmes working directly with young people. Young people have influenced our work for years, from surveys of our programme students, through to work with our alumni. We’re now looking to do even more to bring young people’s voices and individual experiences into our research, including workshops with young people to explore their experiences in greater detail. This blog outlines our experience of running this type of activity for the first time.
