the workplaceCommission on Integration and Cohesion The Commission on Integration and Cohesion is a fixed term advisory body, announced by Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly, on 24 August 2006. The Commission considered how local areas can make the most of diversity while being able to respond to the tensions it may cause. Following an extensive consultation process, regional outreach visits, engagement of key stakeholders and local communities and research, the Commission's work has come to an end, and its final report, Our Shared Future, was published on 14 June 2007. Accompanying Our Shared Future is a compendium of case studies demonstrating good practice at the local level, reflecting the Commission's focus on the local throughout its work. We hope that these will be useful for people across the country looking for ideas on how to take our recommendations forward. Furthermore, a set of research thinkpieces which informed the Commission's views are also available. These thinkpieces are independent - the findings and recommendations are those of the authors and are not representative of the Commission, Ministers or officals from the Department of Communities and Local Government - and highlight a broad range of academic views on the subject of integration and cohesion. The Commission engaged with a range of stakeholders in their efforts to make practical recommendations to help develop capacity to build cohesive and integrated communities. An extensive consultation process took place, with over 600 responses from a vast range of organisations and indivduals. A summary of the key themes (Themes, Messages and Challenges: summary of key themes from the Commission on Integration and Cohesion Consultation) that emerged from the Commission's extensive consultation process is available to download.
