Stephen Lawrence

Lesson Objectives To describe what a right is. To identify the main contents of the Human Rights Act, To discuss the history of the Act and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights To make links between the EU and the British Human Rights Act To identify the impact of the human rights act on the work of the public services.

What is a right?: expectations of how you should be treated. British law lays down the limits of what rights citizens have and what may happen if they infringe the rights of others.

We’ve all heard of the Human Rights Act but where did it come from? The Historical Context of the Human Rights Act 1998 The Human Rights Act 1998 came into force in October 2000 under the New Labour Government. It was adopted from the European Convention on Human Rights making it possible to include the protections laid out in the European Convention into UK law.

The Human Rights Act 1998 and The Health and Social Care Sector. It applies to all public authorities performing a public function who must comply with the act when doing their work or making decisions which affect your rights.

Who does it cover? The Human Rights act covers everyone in the United Kingdom, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. Anyone who is in the UK for any reason is protected by the provisions in the Human Rights Act. The rights in the HRA are known as 'justicible', which means that if an individual thinks they have been breached, they can take a court case against the public sector body that has breached them.

The main articles of the Human Rights Act 1998 Article 2 Everyone’s life shall be protected by law. Article 3 No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. Article 5 Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. Article 6 Everyone is entitled to a fair and public Hearing Article 8 the Right to respect for his private and family life his home and his correspondance. Article 9 Feedom of thought conscience and religion. Article 10 Freedom of expression Article 12 Right to marry and found a family Article 14 Freedom from discrimination
