A briefing paper. Community cohesion is currently high on the political agenda, in large part, because of the violent community disorders in Bradford, Burnley and Oldham last summer. The official reports that followed these disturbances described fragmented and polarised communities lacking a strong sense of civic identity and social values.
This briefing paper summarises some of the recent initiatives implemented to help build cohesive communities. In particular, it looks at what various stakeholders, including the National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux (NACAB) and the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), are doing to foster a multicultural society in which each person enjoys equal rights while also sharing the responsibility for strengthening communities
