A conversation about a new human rights law<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text el_class=”whitefont”]The Human Rights Consortium Scotland and the Scottish Human Rights Commission are both members of the National Taskforce. Through All Our Rights in Law, we have heard from people and communities across Scotland about how a new human rights law should work. We have also learned about what people might need to use the new law to claim their rights.<\/p>\n

These conversations are now complete, and we are gathering the responses into a report for the National Taskforce, which will inform their recommendations to the Scottish Government.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][vc_column_text el_class=”whitefont”]Using this information, we will gather views to help inform the National Taskforce\u2019s final recommendations. We will also publish a report to help inform how detailed proposals for a new law are developed.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”48px”][vc_empty_space height=”48px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#ffffff” thickness=”4″ el_class=”whitelineseparator”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=”whitefont”]<\/p>\n
