Every three years we are required to report to Parliament on the
progress that society is making in relation to equality, human
rights and good relations. 'How fair is Britain?' is the report
of our first Triennial Review. ‘How fair is Britain?” highlights
several challenges which explicitly refer to disabled people: -
Disabled people are less likely to have confidence in the
criminal justice system. Read the Legal and physical security
summary. - Young disabled people are twice as likely as their
non-disabled peers to be caring regularly for other children or
adults. Read the Care and support summary. - Only eight per cent
of boys in England with special educational needs (SEN) who are
eligible for free school meals obtain five good GCSEs, including
English and Mathematics, compared to 61 per cent of children
without SEN. - And nearly three-quarters of permanent exclusions
in England involve pupils with SEN, while four-fifths of
disabled young people in England said they had been bullied.
