The Equality and Human Rights Commission is a UK body which replaced the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) and the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC). Its website provides advice relating to discrimination on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion or sexual orientation and gives practical guidance on bringing a discrimination claim. There is a section dealing with rights in settings including employment, shops and services, health and social care, legal services, transport and education. The section on human rights identifies the rights protected under the Human Rights Act 1998. There is also guidance for employers, education and training providers, public authorities and service providers focusing on the duties and responsibilities of these organisations to promote equality and human rights. The site also has news and publications.
