A Guide to the Human Rights Act for People with Learning Disabilities

A new booklet has been published to help people with learning disabilities understand the Human Rights Act.

The booklet has been written in easy to understand words - outlining the Act and explaining each of the Articles with examples of how it may be applied 
for example

ARTICLE 5 Right to freedom and security

You have the right to freedom.  You should not be arrested or locked up without a good reason, for instance of the police have reason to think you have done something criminal...
It's not fair for care staff to lock you in your room, even if they're angry with how you behaved.
