Improving Opportunity, Strengthening Society: The Government’s Strategy to increase race equality and community cohesion
Opportunities in Britain have undoubtedly grown over the last eight years. Not just because of what the Government has achieved, but because others, such as community organisations, business and front-line public services, have worked with us. But go to any community and it is clear that there is still more to do.
This strategy is about getting much better at identifying and responding to the specific needs of different communities, in education, health, employment, housing, security. It is also about looking beyond opportunities for individuals, to the importance of strengthening society. This is not something that the Government can do alone, but it is an issue on which we can give a lead. This strategy signals our intention to give greater emphasis to providing this support and leadership.
Equal opportunities can sometimes generate more rhetoric than action. That is not our approach. This document is focused on practical measures, providing a framework that helps us continue to work with businesses, local public services and communities themselves to ensure that we further improve opportunities and cohesion in Britain over the next three years.
