The Equality and Human Rights (ECHR), celebrating its six-month anniversary this week with the launch of a silent, silent awareness campaign on YouTube. ‘Similarly, divers’ are characterized by a number of clips, human beings, including journalists from fashion-Gok Wan, celebrates its own unique character. There may be a small step in the right direction, but it is sensitive to the impatience of new measures the abundance of equality sounded Watchdog. Between two chairs for sitting, Launched in October, the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC), the Disability Rights Commission (DRC) and the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE), the ECHR has been a £ 70m a year the budget for combating inequality. But Andy Rickell, director of the charity Scope, who believes that falls between two stools. “When he wants to, on profits reinvested by the three commissions Legacy, it would be more diplomatic verfechtend certainly show some of the cases and gagnable juicy, and still relevant, even if they close their doors,” it. “If he wants a ground zero approach, it fate, and to speak with special interest groups. “After six months, plus the number of months to plan in advance, or the lack of” pin-pin “or” war war “is disappointing.” Simon Woolley, director of the operation, the pressure group Black Vote! Part of this frustration. “I have a lot of reservations about a” super-state “equality and the body, but there are a lot of good people, I hope he begins to deliver desperately equality, sooner or later,” at he said. “My chief concern is the emphasis on conviction, is not a trial, and to bridge the gap between the Commission and to serve man.” No convincing start In the early human resources problems were considerable - especially in new areas of human rights - and after six months, neither the ECHR nor the website of the hotline are at the final version of the scene . It is clear that much remains to be done to convince the public that the ECHR is alive, let alone kicked. But Liane Venner, the head of accession to the European Union to participate in the union Unison, said that the Commission was of a great disadvantage with regard to awareness: “It was clear from the outset that the representatives of six components of discrimination is a daunting task, especially when the CRE and the EOC has been so deeply into the public conscience, “she said. But she is convinced that the mere equality Bill nor in the post-stage consultation with a government should announce soon, will help. “The priority of the legislative changes of the ECHR, the signage is the importance of a force of wanting to be” Venner said. During the ECHR, which will take some time to log on the political landscape, it seeks to give the impression that its first six months were low. “Putting people in the right positions has been an important theme for us, and although we are still at the beginning with a loud bang, the hotline is 5000 calls per month,” said a spokesman. “We been strongly in the case of Sharon Coleman [where the General Counsel has found that care as a person, they have suffered from discrimination on the basis of disability by the association], and we have a demand for rights of the man, and we have a lot of work on the Single Equality Bill. “Of course, we need more awareness in the construction, but our first six months, the Build-up phase. Now that we are in take-off mode, it is our intention to go out and sell Us, starting with YouTube And then Facebook. ” Firm foundations Dianah Worman, diversity consultants from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, believes that the decision to spend time establishing a strong foundation is well past time. “We need to move more secure, but we also need for all employers in the context, if we are to diversity on the agenda,” she said. Rachel Krys, director of the Employers Forum on Age, added: “There are some very impressive people in the Commission, which are very concerned, things are done. Employers must adult conversations about how discrimination on the basis of age in attack can be taken, and we are looking for the ECHR for the conduct of operations. “ |
