This paper, prepared by Equinet’s Working Group on Communication Strategies and Practices, considers the nature of under-reporting and the challenge to equality bodies to identify and address any barriers that may contribute to the issue. It also highlights the need to have robust systems to capture both formal and informal reports and to be able to interrogate this data when developing activities to embed good equality practices in workplaces and service provision. The report also raises the question around the capacity of equality bodies to deal appropriately with increased reports of discrimination.
The report contains five chapters, authored by five members of the Equinet Working Group on Communication Strategies and Practices:
All the chapters all inspirational and provide powerful insights and many ways to influence and shape change.
