The recent ministerial letter to the Director of Fair Access to Higher Education, and the subsequent Access Agreement guidance, have asked the sector to give greater attention to young white males from disadvantaged backgrounds.

NEON are keen to highlight the views and work of its members in this area. Please complete our survey where you can describe your institution’s current or future work within this area and be part of a NEON members' report on the issue.

NEON will collate the responses and will disseminate our findings at a special NEON event to be held on May 16 in Central London. We will also be sharing the findings with the Minister of State for Universities and Science, the Right Honourable Jo Johnson MP.
