How Fair is North East Scotland? – Grampian Regional Equality Council

In 2010, the Equality & Human Rights Commission produced a report called How Fair is Britain?, looking at how different groups of people experience life in the UK, in terms of employment, health, education, safety, and a range of other categories. In 2015, this was followed by Is Britain Fairer?, along with a separate report focused on Scotland. Follow-up reports have been released every few years since then – the full collection is available here.

GREC and Integrate Grampian set out to create similar reports in 2018 and 2021 – How Fair is North East Scotland?, looking at Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray. The material at this link relates to the 2021 report.
