    Disability Rights Commission

    The Disability Rights Commission (DRC) is the constitutional body set up created by the government to aid protect civil rights for disabled people. It was recognized by an act of parliament under the Disability Rights Commission Act of 1991 to promote equal opportunities for disabled people, encourage wonderful practice in the treatment of disabled people, work towards ending discrimination against disabled people, and keep under review the working of the Disability Discrimination Act and the Disability Rights Commission Act.

    The Disability Rights Commission is a decision-making Non-Departmental Public Body and operates under the government with the functions of: providing information service to disabled people, education providers, and businesses; offering an appeasement service for the disabled people and service providers including education providers; supporting disabled people in protecting their rights under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA); conducting studies; developing constitutional codes of practice; and advising the government on the operation of existing legislation and whether modifications need to be made to it.

The service provides confidential and completely accessible free dispute resolution service for those who might if not bring litigation under parts three and four of the Disability Discrimination Act.

    Commissioners are appointed by the Secretary of State via a way that involves independent evaluation under guidance issued by the Commissioner of Public Appointments. The Disability Rights Commission is made up of fourteen commissioners including the Chairman.

    The Disability Rights Commission's leadership strategy makes an effort to considerably amplify the participation of disabled people in senior positions having clear cut regard to public and community life.

The major locks of the leadership strategy are resources for disabled people.
