Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee

EHRC revised code implementation

The Committee will scrutinise the implementation of the Equality and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC) revised Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations.

It will hold evidence sessions with key stakeholders to better understand the implications of the revised code for public bodies and for those affected by it.

Background

The EHRC revised Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations was formally laid before the UK Parliament in May 2026 and came into force on 5 August 2026.

It provides statutory guidance on how the Equality Act 2010 applies to services, public functions and associations across Scotland, England and Wales.
