Race Relations Act

The Race Relations Act of 1976 is a key piece of legislation in the UK aimed at promoting equality and preventing racial discrimination. It makes it illegal to discriminate against individuals based on their race, color, nationality, or ethnic origin in various areas, including employment, education, and public services. The Act established the Commission for Racial Equality to promote good race relations and address complaints. Over the years, it has been amended to strengthen protections and broaden its scope, contributing significantly to the fight against racism and supporting a more inclusive society.
