Legal aid for victims of discrimination

Our recent inquiry into legal aid for victims of discrimination in England and Wales identified a number of barriers to justice and found that very few people are getting the representation they need.

It also highlights that people who are not financially eligible for funding but cannot afford to pay for their own legal advice are slipping through the cracks – including some of those living below the poverty line.

Our new Strategic Plan

Our Strategic Plan for 2019 to 2022 explains how we will protect and promote equality and human rights in Britain over the next three years.

It sets out three strategic goals to ensure everyone in Britain gets a fair chance.

Children have a right to know about LGBT families

'Only by equipping children to be citizens of 21st century Britain – a diverse society with different traditions and freedoms – will we begin to heal the current divisions in society.'

Our Chair, David Isaac, calls for an end to the ambiguity on teaching of LGBT rights.
