inequalities and fairness• Publish a final report and recommendations• Reports to the Council and also considered by
Sheffield Executive Board• Continue the debate on fairness• Monitor the impact
![Page 14: Sheffield Fairness Commission Saturday 8 th September 2012](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052321/551af0f1550346f70d8b4dd5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What is Fairness?
• Fairness is a matter of social justice: a society in which individuals and groups are treated fairly and receive a just share of its benefits and burdens.
• This does not mean addressing inherent individual or biological differences between people, for example, in terms of gender or race.
• Our focus is on those differences, inequalities, which arise from the way a society or city, is organised socially, politically and economically.

A Bold Vision
A city that is eventually free from damaging disparities in living conditions and life
chances, a place in which every citizen and community knows and feels that they will be treated fairly. We aspire to be the
fairest city in the country.
