Good Relations Measurement Framework: Research Report 60

Abstract

The Good Relations Measurement Framework aims to produce a set of indicators that collectively paint a comprehensive picture of the current state of good relations in Great Britain, as well as separately for England, Scotland and Wales, and in individual localised areas.Good relations is a developing concept. It started as a responsibility for local government and the Commission for Racial Equality under the 1976 Race Relations Act and has now been extended by the Equality Act 2010 to other diversity strands: age; disability; gender; religion and/or belief; sexual orientation; transgender; as well as race. The GRMF, which has been developed to provide a set of indicators by which society’s progress towards good relations can be measured, intends to cover all of these as well as social class/socio-economic status
