Definition of Sectarianism in Scotland Survey

Posted on: September 10th, 2015

In their last report the Advisory Group on Tackling Sectarianism in Scotland produced a new definition of sectarianism in Scotland, which is: Sectarianism in Scotland is a mixture of perceptions, attitudes, actions, and structures that involves overlooking, excluding, discriminating against or being abusive or violent towards others on the basis of their perceived Christian denominational background. This perception is always mixed with other factors such as, but not confined to, politics, football allegiance and national identity. As recommended in the report Scottish Government are now testing this definition with a survey to gather thoughts about it and how it fits with the work of organisations and individual’s understanding of sectarianism in Scotland. It would be greatly appreciated if you could take a few minutes to complete the survey and contribute to the testing and potential further development of a definition of sectarianism in Scotland. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/P6ZK9BG
