We are Britain’s national equality regulator and a United Nations-accredited 'A status' national human rights institution.
We are committed to upholding individuals' rights without fear or favour. Using the full force of our legal powers, we challenge breaches of the law and protect people from unfair or unequal treatment. We also offer advice on law development and provide guidance, training, and support to help organisations meet their legal obligations.
As a regulator, we adopt an agile, independent, and evidence-driven approach to defend individuals from unfair treatments of the law. Our work includes providing practical support, guidance and training to organisations to help them comply with their legal responsibilities.
Collaboration is central to our work. We engage with governments, employers and a wide range of organisations, ensuring our approach is evidence-driven while maintaining impartiality.
Our Strategic Plan for 2025–2028 reinforces our commitment to using our powers where we can have the greatest impact. As an effective and impartial regulator, we aim to address the most pressing equality and human rights challenges. Joining us means contributing to a fairer society where everyone can exercise their rights, free from discrimination.
