Commission for Equality and Human Rights: Community Consultation

 

To inform work on setting the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, WEU commissioned a study to bring together a number of focus groups, drawn from community groups and organisations across England.  Through these groups we wanted to hear first hand about people's day-to-day experiences of discrimination to ensure that the Commission's work programme is informed by people's real life experiences.  We tried hard to involve groups that have no or very little contact with Government normally.  The study was carried out by the University of Central Lancashire and Elborough Consulting Ltd.
