| Annotation | 'Is Britain fairer? The state of equality and human rights 2015' is the Commission's five-yearly statutory report on equality and human rights progress in England, Scotland and Wales. This main report presents key findings relating to: education and learning; work, income and the economy; health and care; justice, security and the right to life; and the individual and society. It identifies and expands upon the eight most significant areas requiring improvement. 1. Improve the evidence and the ability to assess how fair society is. 2. Raise standards and close attainment gaps in education. 3. Encourage fair recruitment, development and reward in employment. 4. Support improved living conditions in cohesive communities. 5. Encourage democratic participation and ensure access to justice. 6. Improve access to mental health services and support for those experiencing (or at risk of experiencing) poor mental health. 7. Prevent abuse, neglect and ill-treatment in care and detention. 8. Tackle targeted harassment and abuse of people who share particular protected characteristics. Supporting evidence on a range of domains is also available. (RH) |
