Social Mobility Awareness Day 2026: 'In conversation with…' interview series

15 June 2026
Between the 9-12 June 2026 DWF hosted a series of interviews with diverse role models from across their organisation to mark Social Mobility Awareness Day 2026.

Social Mobility Awareness Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of the barriers individuals can face and to highlight the importance of creating equitable access to opportunity for all. 

At DWF, we believe talent and ambition should never be limited by background. By sharing real stories and lived experiences, we aim to:

  • make careers in law and professional services more visible and accessible
  • challenge perceptions about “traditional” career paths
  • inspire others to pursue their ambitions

In each session we explored our role model's career journeys, the challenges they've faced, the experiences that have shaped their careers, and their career progression advice for others.

If you missed these great sessions, you can rewatch the recordings below:

Clare Beavan, DWF Foundation & Community Investment Manager

Kathryn Emmerson, Associate

 

 

Rhys Sanchez, Partner
