Member Guide

Together, we are the Fair Education Alliance.

We’re a cross-sector coalition of organisations committed to tackling educational inequity so that no child’s success is limited by their socioeconomic background.

This page sets out what membership of the Alliance means: what you can expect from us, and what we ask of you. It’s designed to help you and your colleagues get the most out of being part of this movement.
