A community event marking the 20th anniversary of the Morecambe Bay cockling tragedy on 4 February 2024 in Morecambe, Lancashire When the tide rushed in that night, only 15 were able to leave the water. Twenty-one bodies were pulled from the sea, with only Li Hua being rescued. A woman’s skull was found six years later, and one body has never been discovered. If the cocklers had been given even basic information about the treacherous tides or been supervised, they could have survived.

ABSTRACTWithin the UK, sandwich courses, i.e. degree programmes that include a year spent on a work placement, usually during the third year of a four-year course, are increasingly offered by higher education institutions to maximise the proportion of their graduates moving into employment and, particularly, jobs that are deemed ‘graduate-level’. Indeed, there is evidence of a strong positive correlation between participation in sandwich courses and employment.
