They should be removed and not stated…

They should be removed and not stated publicly or by government websites as being an organisation human rights violations should be reported to because they are not a service which upholds human rights or a service which takes action on behalf of members of the public.

Because they come up second in any listings and on the Human rights website as the only service a member of public can actually contact it is deliberately misleading members of the UK. Especially when all they do is signpost to organisations every organisation which signposts to. And the organisations we are signposted to are the usual culprits which do absolutely nothing, but signpost to each other.

The human rights organisation which is the only authority which can take action on a member of publics behalf isn't even in the UK. And before a member of public can contact them and report human rights violations they have to have gone through all complaints procedures and courts and high courts

So basically members of the UK suffering to extremes who have been made unwell and are suicidal dragging themselves through every second of every day have to go through all these stalling tactics and impossible endeavours deliberately made impossible because there is no support within the UK to go through these tasks. There is no legal representation or support to go through legal representation.

What this tells us is that there are a lot of people suffering human rights violations in the UK because those committing human rights violations know that they won't ever be held to account.

And what this also tells us is that all the quoted human rights laws are useless quotes.

And what it also tells us is that the UK government is corrupt and deliberately not supporting members of the public and that there is most likely an untold amount of suicides/ people just waiting to die in dead end situations without basic needs met and no life being lived every second of every day within the UK which gets written off as poor mental health and swept under the carpet.

Hi there,

Thank you for your review. After looking at your information, I'm unable to find you in our system.

The EASS helpline advises and assists individuals on issues relating to equality and human rights, across England, Scotland and Wales. While we can provide some advice towards an informal resolution, human rights issues can require more complex legal assistance, which is something that falls outside of our remit.

On these occasions, we always try our best to signpost you to the correct legal support that specialises in human rights law, as they are best placed to support you.

I apologise that you felt we were unable to assist you on this occasion.

Best wishes,

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for your review. After looking at the reference number you have provided, I can see you emailed us on the 18th and the 23rd of July. Whilst we do aim to respond to all email enquiries within 72 hours, this is an aim and not a guarantee and does depend on our service levels. Typically emails are responded to within 3-5 working days. However, each time you email us, it does put your email to the back of the queue therefore, when you emailed us again on the 23rd of July, the 3-5 working day timescale will have started again.

Should you wish to get immediate advice, our phone lines are open Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm and Saturday 10am to 2pm. We do also offer a live chat service.

Best wishes,

Advice was clear and directly related to the law. Adiditonal resources were provided for me to raise my concerns with the company concerned, and furhter contacts for me to follow up and seek legal advice.

I only give 4 rather than 5 stars as it took a few attempts before I coudl get online advice (I gave up on one or two previous attempts as noone seemed to be avaialble).

EASS is amazing, and so is Rory!

I called EASS today for the first time, all I would like to say is thank you Rory!

I hadn't heard of your service before, but I googled and contacted you about an issue my wife was having at work.

Rory was amazing, friendly, calm, understanding, factual, and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about all the rules and regulations.

I don't which I should praise more Rory's phone manner and conversation skills or Rory's knowledge, because both are amazing.

TL;DR - Hire more people like Rory, because Rory is amazing.

Discrimination in Education

Hi, I spoke to Rory yesterday regarding a matter arising at a special school and he was absolutely amazing. He was kind, informative, and so very patient as he waited for me. Can't say enough words of praise for him. I hope I get Rory again if I need to speak with the service again. The service itself is fantastic and absolutely a gem for the help it provides people suffering from discrimination, in all its disguised manifestations. Thank you Rory and thank you to the service. Continue the fantastic work you do.

Fantastic advice service.

I found this service really helpful. They explained my rights and what I should expect given my situation. Gave good advice about next steps moving forward and some useful links/services that may be beneficial.
I felt they listened and responded in an impartial but helpful manner.
Fantastic.

I contacted EASS as a victim of…

I contacted EASS as a victim of long-term racism, harassment, and hate incidents in the UK, hoping for support. But this service is completely misleading. They advertise that they help people, but in reality, they do not help individuals at all — only give basic advice and refer you back to the same public bodies that already failed you.

I am part of a family who has suffered serious emotional, physical, and mental harm due to police inaction, housing failures, racist abuse, and cannabis exposure. EASS offered no real support, no legal help, no protection, and no solutions.

This service is run by a private company, not a government body. They can’t take action, can’t represent victims, and they do nothing to hold racist institutions accountable.

Their Google ads make you believe they are here to protect your rights — but that’s false advertising. If you’re in crisis, please don’t expect help from EASS. The UK needs a real equality service with power to act — this isn’t it.

Extremely disappointing and disheartening.

Hi Ina,

I am sorry to hear that you feel our service is misleading. After looking at your record, I can see that your issue is surrounding a neighbour dispute. As advised, these are not covered under the Equality Act 2010 or Human Rights Act 1998 due to them being person to person.

In terms of legal support and representation, as explained in the remit on our IVR when calling through to our service, we are not legally trained and advise to achieve informal resolutions, we do not have enforcement powers which allow us to represent individuals. Should you require this type of support, I would recommend that you contact a legal advice service.

I was really impressed with the support I received, professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. I spoke with Deborah, who quickly provided clear guidance and signposted me to the right resources. Support like this is invaluable, and I believe all workplaces should either have something similar in-house or actively direct staff to services like the Equality Advisory Support Service.

A service for women only... it seems.

It seems gender equality in this service only applies when it comes to the rights and privileges of women. If your a man, don't even waste your breath on these idiots.

Hi Sean,

Thank you for your review. After looking into the live chat that you have had with our service, I can see that our adviser did suggest that he needed more information in regard to the less favourable treatment you had received. However, before he was able to advise you, you disconnected that chat. If you would like some advice surrounding your issue, please don't hesitate to get back in touch.

Rory provided me with a very reassuring phone call very soon after I made my initial enquiry and a fantastically useful no-nonsense legal complaint letter which made us feel much more in control of a very difficult situation.
