Disability Rights Commission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) was an independent body set up by the British Parliament to end discrimination against disabled people. The passing of the Equality Act 2006 means that in October 2007 the DRC was replaced by a new Equality and Human Rights Commission with powers across all equality law (race, sex, disability, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age).
The DRC was a non-departmental public body (NDPB) of the Department for Work and Pensions. Its head office was in Manchester city centre with other offices in central London, Cardiff and Edingburgh.
