Q10: What is the DRC?

A: The Disability Rights Commission was an independent body set up in April 2000 by an Act of Parliament to stop discrimination and promote equality of opportunity for disabled people by working with disabled people, employers and service providers to find practical solutions for everyone.

On 1st October 2007 the Equality and Human Rights commission was set up as a new initiative, joining the DRC with the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) and Commission for Racial Equality (CRA).
