Fairness in Brighton and Hove

Fairness in Brighton and Hove: an analysis of public voice

Fairness Commissions were first created in 2010 in order to ‘understand how local authorities can have an impact on inequality and poverty’ (New Economics Foundation, 2015). The Brighton and Hove Fairness Commission was launched in September 2015 by Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC) as an independent body tasked with exploring issues that cause inequality and listening to the concerns of residents, community organisations and businesses. The Commission sought to hear as many views as possible through its survey and public meetings which were carried out alongside informal visits to organisations and themed public events. The Community University Partnership Programme created an important opportunity for the University of Brighton to play a crucial role in the collation, analysis and reporting of data collected throughout the Fairness Commission’s public consultation, which was conducted between September 2015 and April 2016.
