Can I speak to someone at the Panel?

Equality and Human Rights Commission

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is a non-departmental public body in Great Britain which was established by the Equality Act 2006 and came into being on 1 October 2007. The Commission has responsibility for the promotion and enforcement of equality and non-discrimination laws in England, Scotland and Wales. It took over the responsibilities of three former commissions: the Commission for Racial Equality, the Equal Opportunities Commission (which dealt with gender equality) and the Disability Rights Commission. It also has responsibility for other aspects of equality: age, sexual orientation and religion or belief. As a national human rights institution, it seeks to promote and protect human rights in Great Britain (with the exception of matters falling within the remit of the Scottish Human Rights Commission, SHRC).

Q. What about devolved administrations? Why is the power not applicable?
A. Devolved administrations are part of the UK Administration and are responsible for observing and implementing EU obligations that concern devolved matters. Should the UK ever be fined in relation to an infraction, there is an agreement between all the administrations that devolved administrations would pay for any proportion of the penalty which relates to a matter falling within their responsibility. For this reason, there is no need for the power to apply to devolved administrations and it does not do so.
