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

New! Some data from the 2022 Census has been released – browse it here: Census 2022.

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. This was followed by Is Britain Fairer? in 2015 and 2018, along with separate reports focused on Scotland in 2015, 2018 and 2023.

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 on this website relates to the 2021 report. By clicking on the buttons below, you can access the different sections of the report, along with graphs, charts and data sources. The full text of the report is available here (PDF).

In this online version, we aim to update links, statistics and other information as often as possible. If you are aware of any areas where more recent data is available, please let us know by using the comments form below.
