This policy sets out how we will use our legal powers from 2019 to 2022. It explains:

• what our legal powers are under the Equality Act 2006
• what we will use our legal powers for
• how we will decide when to use our legal powers

It also gives information about how legal representatives and organisations can make requests for us to use our legal powers.

We cannot provide direct advice to individuals who are looking for our help with an issue. If you are an individual and need help you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service.
