Crisis, communities, change: demand for an equitable recovery, Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA)

This report explores how communities have fared during the pandemic. The survey of 2,600 people in Great Britain, including a weighted sample of 1,000 people from ethnic minority backgrounds, was carried out by Savanta ComRes for the RSA. Among the findings was that discrimination in local services was twice as high among ethnic minorities: 52 per cent of Asian and 50 per cent of black respondents have faced discrimination when accessing local services – compared with 19 per cent of the white population. The data suggests that institutional distrust because of discrimination may play a role in vaccine hesitancy.
