2008/09 Equality scheme
The scheme contains information about how we promote equality in everything that we do, from recruiting and employing staff to carrying out our services and public activities. Uniquely, the Commission’s core work is equality and human rights. So this scheme should not be taken in its entirety as a model to follow by other organisations with different remits.
The scheme was published on 1 April 2008 and ties in with our business and strategic planning. You can download a copy of the equality scheme below. For printed copies please contact our helpline.

Map of gaps: The postcode lottery of violence against women support services - Executive summary
This report by the Commission for Equality and Human Rights and the coalition, End Violence Against Women (EVAW), shows, in a series of facts, figures and maps, the huge gaps in service provision for women who need to access these vital support services. The report highlights a 'postcode lottery,' with some areas in the UK being reasonably well served, and others having no services at all.
