NB:
Each organisation is mentioned just once on this page, though
many can easily qualify for more than one category — eg:
a public body offering advice on employment law, equality
and family issues and also publishing research. So, if you
have the time, it will be worthwhile checking the whole
list; otherwise, use the quick links above.
