CRE
Their job is to promote equality and human rights, and to create a fairer Britain. They do this by providing advice and guidance, working to implement an effective legislative framework and raising awareness of your rights.
CRE was a non-departmental public body in the United Kingdom which aimed to tackle racial discrimination and promote racial equality. Its work has been merged into the new Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The commission was established by the Race Relations Act 1976, passed by James Callaghan's Labour government.
The main goals of the CRE were:
> To encourage greater integration and better relations between people from different ethnic groups.
>To use its legal powers to help eradicate racial discrimination and harassment.
>To work with government and public authorities to promote racial equality in all public services.
>To support local and regional organisations, and employers in all sectors, in their efforts to ensure equality of opportunity and good race relations.
>To raise public awareness of racial discrimination and injustice, and to win support for efforts to create a fairer and more equal society
