Herts Equality Council


“I just think it is necessary not to be silent – 

By being silent, We let the most terrible things happen”

By ‘Yelena Osipova’

Hertfordshire Equality Council (HEC) evolved after the then Commission for Racial Equality report for a need to establish an equality council in Hertfordshire and came into being in 2011.

We work in partnership across Hertfordshire with both the voluntary and statutory sector to promote equality, community cohesion and to eliminate discrimination.

We provide free advice and support around a range of diversity issues relating to Race, Faith, Disability, Sexual Orientation, Gender and Age. Our service is fully confidential. We are also specialists in community development, community outreach and community cohesion work across the County.
