  2. Why Harmonise? • The Equalities Review in 2007 stated that: • ‘The data available on inequality are utterly inadequate in many ways, limiting people’s ability to understand problems and their causes, set priorities and track progress. And even where data do exist, they are not consistently used well or published in a way that makes sense’
