Rebecca Hilsenrath is CEO and Chief Legal Officer of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.[1]
2013 interview
Interviewed on 6 November 2013, and asked who had been the biggest single influence or inspiration in her career and why, Rebecca Hilsenrath replied:
- "A line-manager I had in the Government Legal Service who was prepared to admit to clients in front of me that a mistake they had identified in my work was his not mine. It taught me that you can be a bigger person and command more respect by admitting to error."[2]
Strong Jewish presence
On 12 May 2016, the Jewish Chronicle reported:
- "There is a strong Jewish presence at the top of Britain's equality watchdog. David Isaac, new chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, took up office this week, joining Rebecca Hilsenrath, who was made CEO of the body last autumn."[3]

| Document:Racist and Cruel - The Nasty World of the Equality and Human Rights Commission | Article | 30 May 2016 | David Hencke | I think the EHRC is becoming part of the new nasty Britain. It will issue fine words but do nothing practical about the plight of people because it won't have the staff to do it. It is all part of turning the country into a place where the wealthy feel comfortable and the rest have to scavenge to survive. The only added twist is that the well paid people at the top of this pyramid at the ECHR are being paid out of ordinary people's taxes. |
