They would have less reason to fear if groups could get most of what they want without forcing it on others.
Really interesting point. I think the UK approach tries to provide for the needs and wishes of different communities but not to the extent that it forces this on any other individual or community.

But the UK has been through various models of 'public engagment' or consultation over the years.
The approach is to accept that information will not get out to everyone and even when it does, not everyone will know what alternatives they could ask for or to be empowered to ask for that. So services have a responsibility to anticipate need based on good practice elsewhere, and research findings on the needs of different communities and successful interventions. Ad astra per aspera
