Executive summary (1)Equality: awareness, understanding, views on COVID-19 and experiencesAwareness and understandingWhen asked what the term ‘equality’ meansto participants, thinking specifically aboutNorthern Ireland (NI), the most commonlycited response is that it means equal and fairtreatment of all people (26%). Over one inten (15%) hold a negative view of equality orfeel that equality in NI is lacking.AttitudesLess than a third of participants agree thatthe term ‘equality’ is meaningless to themand not something they think about day today (29%), this has stayed constant in thepast year, where the figure stood at 29%.Equality status and COVID-19When asked what areas of life Covid-194affected, participants identified socialactivities such as impacts on their social lifeand generally getting out (25%). The socialimpacts of Covid were followed by generalimpacts on work, such as lack of staff,support and being too busy (20%) andmissing family members or affectingrelationships (20%). Over one in ten (16%)reported feeling isolated, restricted andmissing freedoms.Personal experiencesThe majority of all participants reported thatthey had not experienced a situation wherethey had not been treated with dignity orrespect in their workplace, based upon theirpersonal characteristics (85%).It is more likely to be the case thatparticipants have witnessed a situation inwhich others were not treated with dignity orrespect in the workplace (23%).Participants were also asked whether theyhave experienced a situation that they havenot been treated with dignity or respect in thearea that they live. One in ten (10%)confirmed that they had experienced thissituation, and for just under one third ofthese (29%) the situation occurred in theirstreet or the immediate area around theirhome. Twice as many (20%) witnessed sucha situation, and this was also likely to happenin a street in their local area (29%) or at ashop (25%).

Executive summary (2)Views on equality, access to technology, education, local area and public servicesViews on equalityWhen considering how necessary equalityand anti-discrimination laws are in NorthernIreland 81% agreed that they are necessary.Slightly under six in ten (59%) agreed thatworkplaces in Northern Ireland are‘welcoming and inclusive’, this is a significantincrease on 2020-21 (54%).Over half (52%) believed that workers aregenerally treated with dignity and respect,this is a slight decrease on 2020-21 (54%).One third (33%) of participants were worriedthat laws to help protect from discriminationwill not be as strong for others in NorthernIreland as a result of Brexit.Access to broadband and technologyWhen asked whether the household hadreliable access to broadband, the majority of5participants indicated that they had a reliablebroadband connection (94%). The majority(93%) also indicated that they had reliableaccess to ‘appropriate technology toundertake learning activities’ (either a laptopor tablet).EducationOver half (52%) agree that funding should bedirected towards children whose educationwas worst affected during school closuresdue to the COVID-19 pandemic, rather thanequally to all children. Slightly under onethird (31%) disagreed with this statement.Local areaTwo thirds (66%) agree that they wouldconsider participating in voluntary orcommunity work, which marks a significantdecrease on the previous year (73%).The majority (88%) agreed that publicspaces such as leisure centres, parks,libraries and shopping centres are ‘sharedand open to all persons regardless of theirpersonal characteristics’.Public servicesWhen planning public services, 56% ofparticipants agree that the needs of differentgroups of people are taken into account,while 20% disagree. This is a significant riseon the previous year, at which time those inagreement with the same statement was43%.

2.Background tothe research6

BackgroundResearch objectivesThe Equality Commission for NorthernIreland (ECNI) commissioned Ipsos MORI toconduct a telephone survey measuringpublic opinion on equality in Northern Ireland(NI) among the general public in December2022.This is the fourth wave of the public opinionsurvey on equality. The survey was firstundertaken in 2018/19 (December-January)and was undertaken again in NovemberDecember 2019. The third wave wasundertaken in 2020/21 (December-January).Ipsos MORI has conducted all waves of thispublic opinion survey.7The purpose of the research is to: Understand the level of awareness ofequality issues.Gather views on equality issues inNorthern Ireland.Measure perceptions of NorthernIreland’s performance on equality issues.Collect data that is comparable with thesurvey results from 2018, 2019 and2021.The findings from the research will be usedto support ECNI’s 2019-2022 corporate plan.

3.Technical notes8

Technical notes (1)Guidance on the presentation of the data (1)Corrective rim weighting has been applied tothe data on the region, age, gender andsocial class quotas to ensure the findings arerepresentative of the population in NorthernIreland. All bases within this report areweighted.Where results do not sum to 100, this maybe due to computer rounding, multipleresponses or the exclusion of don't knows ornot stated responses. Where full scales differfrom net figures (for example, strongly agree tend to agree versus net agree), this is dueto computer rounding.Multiple response questions are indicated onthe relevant charts by an asterisk (*).9The report contains topline findings anddemographic breakdowns where statisticallysignificant differences are found. Statisticalsignificance testing was done using a Zscore, which is designed to test thedifference between two proportions or test asingle proportion against the total. The datahas been tested to a 95% confidence level.Statistical significance is indicated in thereport as follows:Statistical differences between a variableand the average are denoted with a solidgreen circle or a solid red circle, indicatingthat a variable is significantly higher or lowerthan the overall result. For example, thechart on page 22 shows that those aged 16-29 are significantly less likely to agree withthe statement, “The term equality ismeaningless to me in everyday life; it is notsomething I think about” (21%) than onaverage (29%).Statistical differences between variableswithin a sub-group (such as age) aredenoted with a dashed green circle ordashed red circle, indicating that onevariable is significantly higher or lower thananother variable within the same sub-group.Using the same example on page 22, thoseaged 30-44 are significantly more likely toagree with the statement than those aged16-29.

Technical notes (2)Guidance on the presentation of the data (2)In some cases, a result may be bothsignificantly higher or lower than the averageand significantly higher or lower than othervariables in the same sub-group.As this is the fourth wave of the research,comparative data is shown where applicable.Any significant differences between results in2021 are highlighted, with red and greentriangles indicating where a result issignificantly higher or lower than a previousyear. Please note that statistical tests werenot applied to Q1 or Q3 as these are openended questions.10
