Disability Rights Commission
The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) is 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 will be replaced by a new Commission for Equality and Human Rights with powers across all equality law (race, sex, disability, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age).
The DRC is a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) by the Department for Work and Pensions. Its head office is in Manchester city centre with other offices in central London, Cardiff and Edingburgh.
Campaigners
The actress and public speaker Julie Fernandez is a well known supporter of the DRC.
