Summary

Participants who had witnessed discrimination in the past 12 months were asked to identify the type of discrimination they had witnessed. The question was asked in relation to different aspects of their identity - that is, whether they had witnessed discrimination on the basis of gender, race, sexuality, religion, age or disability. This reflects the complexity of young people's experiences of exclusion, discrimination or harassment.
