Everything about The Equal Opportunities Commission totally explained
The
Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) was an independent
non-departmental public body, (NDPB) in the United Kingdom, which tackled sex discrimination and promoted gender equality. It was set up under the Sex Discrimination Act 1975 and had statutory powers to help enforce this Act, the Equal Pay Act and other
gender equality legislation that exists in Britain. Due to the ability of the
Scottish Parliament and
Welsh Assembly to vary the law in this area, separate EOC sub-agencies existed for
Scotland and
Wales. The EOC didn't cover Northern Ireland, where instead these matters were dealt with by the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland.
The EOC is sponsored as an NDPB by the
Department for Communities and Local Government. Its current chair is Jenny Watson.
Similar agencies exist for other categories of equality law in Great Britain. In October 2007 these all became part of a new single equality body, the
Equality and Human Rights Commission.
