EHRC

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is Britain’s independent regulator dedicated to promoting equality and safeguarding human rights. Accredited as a 'A status' National Human Rights Institution by the United Nations, EHRC plays a pivotal role in enforcing the Equality Act 2010, which protects against discrimination based on nine designated characteristics. Established in 2007 from the merger of three previous equality organizations, the Commission serves as the primary resource for policymakers, public sector entities, and businesses seeking expert guidance in the arena of equality and human rights law.

EHRC’s mandate includes conducting inquiries, facilitating legal actions, and providing vital research and publications aimed at fostering a fairer society. The Commission offers comprehensive guidance tailored for individuals, businesses, and public organizations. By promoting awareness and understanding of human rights, the EHRC aspires to ensure that every individual is treated with fairness, dignity, and respect in all aspects of life.
