Everyone talks about fairness – but what does it mean for government? At the Fairness Foundation, we make the case that the value of fairness must be more than a slogan for politicians, it should be the north star guiding public policy, helping to rebuild the social contract and expand real opportunity for all. In doing so, we draw on our research and attitudinal evidence to set out a clearer, bolder narrative for government, and argue that today’s extreme inequalities in wealth and power are unfair, unpopular and damaging to our economy, democracy and social fabric.
Jason Bunting,Advocacy Manager at the Fairness Foundation, will be joining us. He has extensive experience in political advocacy and public policy. Jason previously served as a Parliamentary Assistant in the Northern Ireland Assembly, focusing on regional economic inequalities, and as a Press and Policy Assistant at the SDLP’s central office, where he made a key contribution to party policy development.
