On 21 April 2008 we launched an inquiry to find out how human rights works in Britain, in line with our powers under section 16 of the Equality Act 2006. For the Commission, this inquiry represents the starting point for our remit on human rights.
We are now at the evidence gathering stage for the Human Rights Inquiry. We will be gathering evidence using a number of methods, including commissioning research on specific areas that we have identified will help with the inquiry.
