... we want to see slipping away.

Hi all

This is my second question since I was back on track.

Does this sound natural?

...the idea that anyone can have a fair go. This is not something we want to see slipping away.

Thank you

This is not something we want to see just vanish gradually/unnoticed.

This is not something we want to give up by default.



'A fair go' is a British English expression. In N. America, you might say 'a fair opportunity to try'.
