Diversity has brought enormous economic benefits, but change and migration also create challenges. Stronger local leadership, greater resident participation in decisions and an enhanced role for community groups can all help local areas to promote community cohesion.
We will work with local authorities facing particular community cohesion challenges; provide support for areas facing difficulties; help share best practice between authorities; and support the establishment of forums on
extremism in parts of the country where they are necessary.
We will also encourage the Commission on Integration and Cohesion to produce more detailed plans on how to deliver a step change in promoting cohesion.
