Equality and Human Rights Commission welcomes new Commissioners and launches Human Rights Strategy
This year, the Equality and Human Rights Commission welcomes 10 new commissioners to the EHRC board. They join current commissioners Trevor Phillips (Chair), Baroness Margaret Prosser (Deputy Chair), Morag Alexander (Scotland Commissioner), Maeve Sherlock and Joel Edwards.

The EHRC has also recently launched its Human Rights Strategy. Stemming from its Human Rights Inquiry, the three year strategy aims to improve, promote and protect human rights principles in the UK. The EHRC hopes to demonstrate the value of human rights law in everyday lives and is currently inviting feedback on its strategy.
