Segregation, deprivation and social exclusion in some areas of Britain have coincided with a growth in "regressive" ideologies, a report has found.
Public bodies in the UK had too often ignored or condoned divisive or harmful religious practices for fear of being called racist, the Casey Review said.
Immigrants should take an "integration oath" and there should be more emphasis on British values in schools, it said.
Communities Secretary Sajid Javid said he would study the findings "closely".
>The report made 12 recommendations, including:
A programme of projects to boost cohesion, such as local IT courses and sport activities for children
Councils should regularly collect statistics on hate crime or deficiencies in English
Government and councils should share their approaches to tackling segregation
Schools should promote British values to help build integration, tolerance and citizenship
A review of the "rights and obligations" of immigrants likely to settle in the UK
New immigrants could have to swear "an oath of integration with British values and society"
Funding for school projects that encourage children of different backgrounds to mix
On top of English language classes for adults, special classes to tackle any "cultural barriers" to a person's employment prospects
More funding for local English language classes and a review of whether courses are reaching people who need them
Councils should investigate whether their housing policies help or hinder integration
Better checks when children are removed from mainstream education
New oath for public office-holders pledging "tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs"
