As part of its mission, the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) provides case studies to track the positive effects of equality duties. These studies serve to show companies and authorities how concrete measures can look and how they can be realised. The examples make it clear that the implementation of equality duties is often confronted with financial, organisational, social and individual benefits. Several case studies are presented on the Commission website. The Commission gives a brief overview of the situation to be improved for the organisation, the authority and/or the company, presents the measures taken and shows to what extent these measures had a positive impact on the corporate culture or the efficiency or the provision of services.

These case studies have been carried out in health and social services, in local authorities, in schools and in companies, and show the versatility of equality. If needed, appropriate organisations that want to change something can contact the Commission and ask them for help. One measure that often seems to produce positive results is the consultation with people affected by inequality in the respective situation. If, for example, people with disabilities are asked for advice when developing urban planning projects, the risk of having to undertake costly retrofitting measures in retrospect is much lower - see Saving Money by involving disabled people in the decision-making process, Leicester City Council; Financial Benefits, The Equality and Human Rights Commission.
