As does the EHRC, no?
My understanding may well be off, but isn't any compulsion to act is because of the HRA / EA / other legislation - the EHRC cannot themselves directly compel action, but can seek enforcement through the courts.Absolutely right - my point is that we call the leaked Labour report and the JLM report (et al) a 'report' too, but they don't carry the same legal weight as the EHRC. The EHRC is solely there to determine whether or not organisations have breached equality legislation and they found that we have. We cannot ignore their findings or their recommendations - though many in the conference wanted and voted for us to do precisely that - unless we want to get ourselves prosecuted.
