Why a single commission? 

 

Pam un Comisiwn?

 

A single commission will have many benefits, including the following:

  • bringing together equality experts means we can act as a single source of information and advice
  • being a single point of contact for individuals, businesses and the voluntary and public sectors
  • helping businesses by promoting awareness of equality issues, which may prevent costly court and tribunal cases
  • tackling discrimination on multiple levels - some people may face more than one type of discrimination
  • giving previously under-represented groups, such as older people, a powerful national body to tackle discrimination

Being together means that we will be able to continue the good work of previous commissions from a more powerful base, while learning valuable lessons from each other.
