Evaluation of the Fair Cities Pilots 2007
by John Atkinson, Sara Dewson, Harriet Fern, Rosie Page, Rachel Pillai and Nii Djan TackeyThe Fair Cities Pilots were an experimental programme, designed by the National Employment Panel, and intended to help disadvantaged ethnic minority residents to gain steady work and new careers. They represent a test of the effectiveness and value-for-money of the demand-led approach to tackling disadvantage in the labour market which now underpins much of the thinking behind the emerging employment and skills agenda.
Three Pilots were established in Bradford, Birmingham and Brent in November 2004, and completed their work in March 2008. The evaluation, which was undertaken by the Institute for Employment Studies, assessed their performance up to September 2007, covering a delivery phase of some two years.
