Strategic plan 2025 to 2028
Over the period of this strategic plan we will focus on our principal purpose and duties:
- promoting and protecting equality, diversity and human rights
- monitoring the effectiveness of legislation
- reviewing how Britain is performing on equality and human rights
We will take an evidence-based approach that considers our powers, our potential to drive impact and our analysis of equality and human rights priorities.
We will be open and collaborative, communicating clearly and confidently with the public about their rights. We will engage with other organisations to deliver our mandate, taking joint action with other regulators and helping them to build equality and human rights into their own regulatory frameworks.
We will support mutual respect between groups based on understanding and valuing of diversity and shared respect for equality and human rights. We will fulfil our role as an NHRI as outlined in the Paris Principles.
We will organise our work under three ‘pillars’:
- Pillar One: Core regulation of equality and human rights
- Pillar Two: Agile response to equality and human rights risks and opportunities
- Pillar Three: Programmes focused on complex equality and human rights challenges

British Sign Language (BSL) summary of the plan
Public consultation
Our strategic plan was shaped by responses to our public consultation, which ran from 11 July to 3 October 2024.
We received 2,192 responses to the online consultation. 48% (1,053) were complete responses and 52% (1,139) were partial responses. 79% of respondents submitted a response as an individual and 17% responded on behalf of organisations. 4% didn’t state whether they were responding as an individual or on behalf of an organisation.
We analysed all responses to the consultation, including survey responses, written responses and notes from stakeholder discussions. Some respondents answered some but not all of the questions. Analysis included both full and partial responses to the survey.
We would like to thank everyone who responded to the consultation.
