Training for public bodies
We work with public bodies and services to upskill staff on human rights law and provide practical tools to help them make rights-respecting decisions and embed a culture of respect for human rights across organisations.
We can work with you on Practice Lead programmes and making sustainable change, on staff workshops and confidence-building sessions, and on resources that can be co-produced with people accessing services.
This includes any organisation providing publicly funded or statutory services.
