Web intro Commission for Equality and Human Rights (Single Equality Body)

PRIAE continues to contribute to the Age Reference Group and Dr Ranjit Arora representing PRIAE is a leading contributor to the group, bringing the Institute’s specific expertise of applied double discrimination

The PRIAE Response to the UK Government White Paper ‘Fairness for All’: A New Commission for Equality and Human Rights’ was submitted to the Department of Trade and Industry in August 2004. We were concerned that the introduction of such an Equality Body would lead to the sidelining of age and race discrimination through insufficient priority and resources being given to age and multiple-discrimination targeted at BME elders. http://www.ethnicdiversityinemployment.net/
