Human Rights Act: - What you really need know
The scope of the Human Rights Act is wide – it applies not just to criminal proceedings but also to people detained on the grounds of their mental health, immigration & asylum procedures, the right to family life, children, housing and education. This course is designed to:
- Ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of what rights are protected by the Act
- Show how public authorities such as the council or primary care trust must take account of the Act in the way they deliver services
- Specifically examine issues related to children, immigration & asylum and mental health
Who Should Attend:
Advisors, local authority or other public sector workers specialising in mental health, immigration or working with children and managers of these or similar services.
