The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and its research department regularly research and publish on equality issues in Great Britain. Its reports, all of which are freely available on the Commission's website, are based on data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The Commission addresses a wide variety of issues and questions, including salary equality, the treatment of migrants in Great Britain, the position of persons with disabilities in British society, and violent attacks that these individuals continuously experience, and much more. A list of publications can be found here.

The Commission's extensive research work creates an argumentative foundation that plays an important role in legal advice, litigation and policy advice. The Commission can therefore refer to issues that have already been discussed and provide decision-makers with relevant material. The search enables the Commission to obtain an overview of the current state of affairs and the situation of people experiencing discrimination. If laws, corporate practice, access to education and employment, etc. are critically analysed, then this is a (desirable and progressive) monitoring and control mechanism.

By collecting and analysing information/evidence regarding compliance with the duties, in particular the specific duties, the Commission can hold decision makers accountable and propose and/or propose improvements by means of concrete examples. Cooperation with organisations facilitates and, above all, promotes major projects of the Commission at the local level.

The Commission also conducts case studies to track the positive effects of equality duties
