The Committee's recommendations refer to: how disability is overseen in government; the role of the to the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and that the Equality Advisory and Support Service be returned to the Commission; communication and language; transport; the Public Sector Equality Duty; and a whole range of discrimination-related matters.
