<p>This Government is committed to creating a country that works for everyone, where
success is based on merit, not privilege, and where everyone has the chance to go
as far as their talents and hard work will take them. That is why the Government has
in place a number of strategies to address social mobility and improve outcomes for
those who experience disadvantage.</p><p>Section 1 of the Equality Act 2010 is the
public sector duty regarding socio-economic inequalities, which has not been commenced.
The Government has no plans to commence or enforce the duty because we believe that
specific programmes designed to address social mobility problems in particular areas
will be a more effective approach than blanket legislation of this type.</p>
