| Annotation | For the purpose of this report, social exclusion involves the lack or denial of resources, rights, goods and services, and the inability to participate in the normal relationships and activities available to the majority of people in a society, whether in economic, social, cultural or political arenas. This summary outlines a project for the Social Exclusion Unit (SEU), the purpose of which was to review existing sources on multi-dimensional disadvantage or severe forms of social exclusion, characterised as "deep exclusion" - that is, exclusion across more than one domain or dimension of disadvantage, resulting in severe negative consequences for quality of life (QoL), well-being and future life chances. The Bristol Social Exclusion Matrix (B-SEM), a matrix of domains and topic areas was constructed across the four stages of the life course, from childhood to later life. The summary also notes some of surveys for secondary analysis of multi-dimensional disadvantage covered in more detail in the main report, along with the main recommendations. The report was funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), when the SEU was based at that Department. (RH). |
