Policy and enforcement bodies

The key national bodies with responsibility for disability law and policy implementation include:

The Office for Disability Issues (ODI) is the government agency that works across all departments to help deliver a national strategy for disabled people's equality.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is the independent agency that promotes and enforces equality in relation to disability, race, gender, age, sexual orientation and religion or belief, as well as human rights. Individual complaints and cases of discrimination can be taken to this body.
