The ENAR Shadow Reports are produced yearly to fill the gaps in the official and academic data, to offer an alternative to that data and to offer an NGO perspective on the realities of racism with the EU and its Member States. NGO reports are, by their nature, based on many sources of data, official, unofficial, academic and experiential. This allows access to information which, while sometimes not backed up by the rigours of academic standards, provides the vital perspective of those that either are or work directly with those affected by racism. It is this that gives NGO reports their added value, complementing academic and official reporting. Racism is still a significant barrier in the lives of too many people from ethnic minority backgrounds in the UK. Whilst different ethnic groups experience various forms of racism in different ways, ethnic minority communities, including migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees, have poorer outcomes than the general population with respect to employment, education, housing and health. The on-going issues of racist violence, poor representation in government, negative portrayal in the media and the over-representation of ethnic minorities in all stages of the criminal justice system, mean that ethnic minority groups in the UK are still experiencing many barriers to equal participation in society. This report concludes that, despite the many forms of racism and discrimination that ethnic minorities in the UK face, the current government is not only demonstrating a lack of commitment and leadership in tackling these ethnic inequalities, but many of the government’s policies and proposals have the potential to actually exacerbate the inequalities that already exist.
