20 Apr 2005 - Religious discrimination in England and Wales
In 2001 the Home Office published two independent research reports into religious discrimination.
The first report, Religious discrimination in England and Wales, produced by the University of Derby, describes the experience and perception of people in England and Wales. It examines evidence of religious discrimination, patterns of discrimination, how it overlaps with racial discrimination and the measures for tackling discrimination suggested by the research participants. The research looks at experiences in a broad range of areas of public life including education, employment, criminal justice, immigration, housing and planning, health care and social services and the media.
The second report, Tackling religious discrimination: practical implications for policy makers and legislators, produced by the University of Cambridge, examines the main options available to policy makers and legislators to tackle religious discrimination. It does not take a position on whether there should be legislation against religious discrimination.
