The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is Britain's independent statutory regulator for equality and human rights. It works to uphold and enforce UK equality and human rights laws, promote fairness, dignity and respect, and help make society a more equal and inclusive place across England, Scotland and Wales. The EHRC provides authoritative guidance for individuals, businesses and public bodies on discrimination and human rights, conducts research and inquiries into systemic issues, and uses its legal powers to challenge unlawful practices and support compliance with the law.
