Race and ethnicity, Young adults

Open report

The Young Review found that previous efforts to challenge discrimination had been ineffectual. It argued that agencies, organisations and companies involved in rehabilitation need to acknowledge the role of racism and discrimination in their structures and institutions and address it.
