Equality and Diversity in the North East - new report
Equality and Diversity in the North East : a statistical profile
NEEDP (North East Equality and Diversity Partnership)
August 2008
This report, prepared by the Centre for Public Policy at Northumbria University, provides an up-to-date and comprehensive statistical baseline of equality and diversity issues faced by different communities within the region. The full report, executive summary and appendices can be accessed on the NERIP (North East Regional Information Partnership) website at: http://www.nerip.com/reports_briefing.aspx?id=626
The report draws on a vast number of national and regional sources, enabling it to present statistical information about each of twelve identified population groups. It also describes the issues each group faces with regard to employment, crime and safety, education and skills, social capital, health and social care, housing and transport. The report concludes with a series of recommendations to improve the availability and quality of data relating to equality and diversity in the North East.
