Changing attitudes to equality: Key findings

This report discusses the changing attitudes to equality in the UK. It claims that, while broad consensus exists on equality values, but not attitudes, data nevertheless suggests that these are changing in the longer term and in some areas quicker than others. The document asserts that UK society values equality as a concept, that perceived prejudice is much higher than prejudicial attitudes, that people hold different levels of prejudice to various groups (Inter-group prejudice), that prejudice is not permanent and can be changed, and that it is unclear whether government is driving, or responding to change in attitudes regarding equality.
