Abi is joined by Tilly Clough, a PhD student in Liverpool’s Law School. Tilly’s research explores the charitable status of independent schools and whether this status can be justified. In this episode Tilly discusses the differential access to resources between independent and state schools discussing how this perpetuates inequalities, particularly in the context of the move to online teaching at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
