IJCC was a European-funded partnership project across five countries that sought to enhance children's participation in decision-making. The project's goal was enabling children and young people to participate in decisions around child contact for families affected by domestic violence. This project was funded by the European Union’s Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme (2014 - 2020).

Understanding Inequalities Resources

"How crime has changed in Scotland" – a data comic by the Understanding Inequalities project, suitable for National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher level

The Understanding Inequalities research project is taking a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding the direct and indirect causes and consequences of inequality and how it manifests in different ways across different social groups and a range of spatial levels. Graphic artist Miranda Smith used data and findings provided by the researchers to develop a comic that looks at how crime has changed in Scotland, including how young people have contributed to the crime drop. It also explores poverty as a risk factor for offending and what happens to young offenders who are caught by the police.

"We'll take the low road": a data comic exploring how has Scotland fared in pursuing its vision for lower inequality

University of Edinburgh colleagues worked on a data visualisation project focussing on inequality and inclusion. They drew on partners' research to look at a number of measures of inequality (including income, housing, educational attainment and exposure to crime) to explore how these factors have impacted on life outcomes for people in Scotland compared with England in the 20 years since the Scotland Act 1998.
