Our legal powers and how we use them to protect and promote equality and human rights

We are Britain's equality and human rights regulator. Our human rights powers in Scotland extend to reserved matters and our human rights work is undertaken with the agreement of the Scottish Human Rights Commission.

The Equality Act 2006 gives us a range of powers to enforce the Equality Act 2010 and protect human rights.

If you are a legal representative or work for a legal organisation, our litigation and enforcement policy will help you decide whether to contact us about one of your cases or another legal issue in line with our strategic plan for 2022 to 2025.
