What we have found: some good practice, some gaps Social lives The good: living wage, domestic abuse legislation, Homelessness Act The gaps: access to services in rural areas; where Gypsy/Traveller live; family life of people with learning disabilities; different views on inclusive education

What we have found: some good practice, some gaps Justice and security The good: opportunities in police reform, Childrens Hearing system, Victims and Witnesses Bill The gaps: increasing hate crimes; low prosecution in trafficking, police use of TASER weapons, conditions in detention, legal aid
