Quality and Equality: Human Rights, Public Services and Religious Organisations The British Humanist Association (BHA) has produced a report into the contracting out of public services to religious organisations. The launch of the report is being supported by the TUC and its conclusions endorsed by public figures including Lord Warner, former minister at the Department of Health.
The report’s findings state that there is no evidence that religious organisations offer any distinctive benefits to the supply and provision of public services and that the Government’s clear policy objective of expanding the role of religious organisations within the public services runs the risk of lowering standards, increasing inequalities, introducing ‘parallel services’ and damaging social cohesion.
