The British Institute of Human Rights has recently launched a new online human rights tool called ‘Know Your Human Rights’ .
The tool aims to support people with mental health and/or mental health capacity issues, and their advocates , to find out more about human rights and to be able to raise issues in a health and care setting.
The tool has simple and clear information about human rights as well as interactive flowcharts which support people to a) work out if their issue is related to human rights and b) how they can raise a human rights issue. There are also a range of downloadable resources including accessible facts sheets and letter writing templates.
