Digital stories
We have four digital stories supporting the launch of the research that tell the real life story of people living in Wales. Individuals speak about the attitudes of family, friends and local communities, and also their experiences with public services.
Supporting documents
We have pulled together individual supporting documents giving more detail on the feedback and suggestions from asylum seekers and refugees, people living with mental health conditions, transgender people and Gypsy Traveller groups.
Origins of Not just another statistic
Who do you see?
In 2008 the Commission in Wales published the first attitudinal research into people’s life experiences in Wales. Who do you see? built a picture of a generally tolerant society but it emerged there were some groups in our society who still experience prejudice, negative attitudes and isolation.
The Who do you see? section also has several supporting documents detailing experiences in different areas of peoples lives. There is also a flash animation that questions our assumptions of individuals.
