On 12 July, the Prime Minister announced a new independent body, which will be charged with challenging social injustices to create a “fairer country”. The Office for Tackling Injustices, OfTI for short, will aim to provide future Governments with more effective, data-driven, evidence-based challenges to help drive forward reforms to tackle a large variety of disparities within society.
They will follow the approach taken by the Race Disparity Audit, the OfTI will look at disparities in areas including socio-economic background, ethnicity, gender, disability and sexual orientation and explore whether specific groups of people are unfairly discriminated against or held back in life.
