Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of how UK institutions of Higher Education (HE) now offer a variety of schemes to foster wider participation. Although not a comprehensive analysis of widening participation (WP), it is a way of locating foundation programme activity in WP in general. Several pitfalls are described, including how WP efforts often focus on recruitment rather than on the students’ relevant experience.
