Proposed Human Rights Bill for Scotland

Monday 18th September, 10am - 12noon
Wednesday 20th September, 1pm - 3pm
Monday 25th September, 6pm - 8pm
 

The Scottish Government is consulting on a Human Rights Bill, which will incorporate a range of rights into Scots law for the first time, as far as possible within the limits of devolved competence. This is one of the biggest steps forward in human rights in Scotland. The proposed Human Rights Bill brings the four United Nations international human rights treaties into the law in Scotland, within the limits of the Scottish Parliament's devolved powers, as well as recognise and include the right to a healthy environment and make sure the rights it sets out in Scots law are available to everyone equally.

The CLD Standards Council, in partnership with Human Rights Consortium Scotland, will be hosting 3 opportunities for its members to join online and “Have Your Say”. We want as many member's voices to be heard in this Scottish Government consultation, so these sessions are designed for members to find out more about the proposed Bill, as well as openly discuss any thoughts, ideas or concerns they have.

We also want to discuss and enquire how it will impact CLD, and the people and the communities we support as a sector. Together, we have an opportunity to help inform and shape this new Bill. The data gathered during these sessions will form part of the response CLD Standards Council will submit to this consultation.
