Equality and Human Rights Commission
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is an independent statutory body established under the Equality Act 2006. It was preceded by the Equal Opportunities Commission first established under the 1975 Sex Discrimination Act. The EHRC covers Great Britain i.e. England, Scotland and Wales (not Norther Ireland). The sponsor department is the Government Equalities Office (GEO) and it has a board of Commissioners who steer the Commission's work and direction. The aim of the EHRC is to reduce inequality, eliminate discrimination based on age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation or transgender status and encourage compliance with the Human Rights Act.
