Equality and Human Rights Commission – Is Britain Fairer?

Nicky Hudson

Is Britain Fairer?, the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s statutory five-yearly report on equality and human rights progress in England, Scotland and Wales, was published on Friday 30 October 2015. It is the most comprehensive review ever carried out on progress towards greater equality and human rights protection in Britain, revealing that, while life has become fairer over the past five years for many people, for others, progress has stalled and for some– in particular young people and poor White boys – life on many fronts has got worse. Is Britain Fairer? draws on a wide range of major datasets and the Commission’s own analysis to reveal how, as the country becomes more ethnically and religiously diverse than at any point in its history, new complexities mean many existing assumptions about which of us encounter greater challenges may no longer hold true.
