Policy background Reform of the Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission
The Social Mobility and Child Poverty Commission established under the Child Poverty Act 2010 (cited as the Life Chances Act 2010) is reformed as the Social Mobility Commission.
	The remit of the Commission is to promote social mobility in England, to advise the Government, on request, on how to improve social mobility in England and to publish annually a report setting out its view on progress made towards improving social mobility in the UK.
	In addition the Commission retains its remit to describe the measures taken by the relevant Northern Ireland department in accordance with a Northern Ireland strategy. The Commission no longer has this role in relation to Scotland or Wales.
