The investigation identified problems of deep polarisation, fragmented communities and ignorance about each other’s communities. The resulting strategy aims to promote Community Cohesion based upon a greater knowledge of, contact between and respect for various cultures, and to establish a sense of greater citizenship.

Gypsies and Travellers, A Draft Strategy for the CRE in Scotland, 2005 – 2007

“Prejudice and overt discrimination are the daily experience of Gypsy and Traveller people. In an era in which it would now be unthinkable for landlords to use the ‘No blacks, no Irish, no dogs’ signs of the 1950s, ‘No Traveller’ signs are a frequent occurrence, despite constant challenge by the CRE”

Briefing 282 - Under-users of the Countryside

People from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, the disabled, young people, people who live in inner cities, women, older people and those on low incomes all make limited use of the countryside. All thought that making more use of it would be beneficial to them but there were significant factors limiting their access. There is a lack of understanding among service providers about the needs of under-represented groups and so opportunities from inclusion for both the user and provider are lost.
