Despite its wealthy image, Islington is the fourteenth most deprived local authority area in England, with extremes of rich and poor. The Islington Fairness Commission (IFC) was set up in June 2010 to look into how to make the borough a fairer place and published its final report and recommendations in June 2011.
Read the full IFC Final Report (PDF) and see the IFC Presentation (PDF) for a quick overview of how we went about it.
The council and key partners have engaged in wide ranging efforts to deliver the actions in the recommendations, the majority being about key services such as housing, community safety and health and education.
Over the past two years we have made good progress in implementing the recommendations. For an update on some of the key achievements to date please see IFC achievements to date May 2013.
