Equality and Human Rights Commission
Equality, diversity, and respect for the human rights and dignity of every man, woman and child are core values that define our lives in Britain.
The vision for the EHRC is based on the Government's view that equality is not a minority concern - it matters to every one of us. At some point in our lives, all of us face barriers that may prevent us fulfilling our potential, or participating fully in society.
Delivering prosperity for all means ensuring that every individual has the chance to achieve their potential, free from prejudice and discrimination. Ensuring that everyone can participate in Britain's success is critical to its delivery.
The new Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) will champion equality, diversity, and human rights as defining values of our society, encouraging all our institutions to operate for the benefit of every individual.
The Equality Act 2006 established the EHRC.
