answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2016 answer text <p>In February 2012, we published <em>Creating the Conditions for integration</em> which is built around the five key contributors to an integrated society<em>:</em></p><ul><li>common ground - a clear sense of shared aspirations and values, which celebrates what we have in common rather than our differences</li><li>responsibility - a strong sense of our mutual commitments and obligations, which brings personal and social responsibility</li><li>social mobility - people able to realise their potential to get on in life</li><li>participation and empowerment - people of all backgrounds have opportunities to take part, be heard and take decisions in local and national life</li><li>tackling intolerance and extremism - a robust response to threats, whether discrimination, extremism or disorder, that deepen division and increase tensions.</li></ul><p>The Community Life Survey 2014-15 shows a well-integrated society with 87% of people reporting they belong strongly to Britain and 86% that their local area is a place where people from different backgrounds get on well together. But we know that some communities and places still face challenges, tensions and missed opportunities. That is why the Prime Minister asked Louise Casey to carry out a review into boosting opportunity and integration in the most isolated and deprived communities. The results of the review will inform a major new Cohesive Communities Programme.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 10/06/2016 13:26:34 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
