Section 6: Human Rights
Human rights are rights or freedoms which belong to all human beings e.g. the right to life, the right to health. There are specific laws and policies in Scotland which are used to protect the human rights of people with disabilities.
Knowledge of human rights can be used as a tool for people with disabilities and their families to ensure they receive equal access to society. They can ensure people receive what they are entitled in terms of healthcare, education, social care, housing and much more!
SBH Scotland is currently working improve our understanding of how human rights link to our organisation.
We are keen to find out what your knowledge is about human rights and the rights of person's with disabilities. This will help us to understand the areas we must provide more information in.
