POLICY & STRATEGYAs new communities settle in the UK and assert their identity, beliefs and practices, they experience new challenges, contest established norms and raise new issues for consideration. These new experiences, challenges and issues may engage many Government departments, agencies and others. FaithWise has extensive contacts in 12 faith and belief communities on which it can draw to understand emerging issues and contentions, develop working solutions acceptable to all relevant parties, and assist in the development of longer term strategies where the issues are of a greater magnitude and complexity. Past experience in this area includes working on issues around cultural practices, citizenship, security, equality and cohesion. |
