Transparency and corporate reporting

Our annual report

Accountability

We are the independent regulator for equality, human rights and good relations in England, Scotland and Wales.

We were established by the Equality Act 2006 and our sponsor government department is the Women and Equalities Unit.

Annual report and accounts

We publish our an annual report and accounts each year. This is a requirement, as a public-funded body, but also shows how we have met our objectives and targets in that year.

Transparency

We are committed to publishing details of how we are using public money. This includes details of spending, tenders and contracts issued and salaries.

To see tenders for the Equality and Human Rights Commission visit the procurement portal.

To find contracts across government, search the contracts finder. 

Departments are asked to publish their spending information using the same approach to timing, format and content. We follow guidance available on the HM Treasury website and publish the information in conjunction with our sponsor department, the Women and Equalities Unit.
