Equally Ours

Equally Ours (previously the Equality and Diversity Forum) started out in 2002 as a pan-equality meeting of experts to discuss proposals to create a single statutory equality body to replace the then Equal Opportunities Commission, Commission for Racial Equality and Disability Rights Commission. From that first meeting we grew to be an influential network that successfully made the case for improving protections for everyone, resulting in the Equality Act 2010 – the biggest single shake-up of the UK’s equality laws. Our members are still core to who we are and what we do and, to this day, we remain the only UK-wide pan-equality and human rights organisation in the UK – speaking powerfully with one voice on public policy issues of common interest.
