"Your Human Rights" Guides

"Your Human Rights" is a series of four plain English, non-technical guides focusing on the practical relevance of human rights in the UK. They were published in 2006 and are written directly for people living with mental health problems, disabled people, older people and refugees and asylum seekers who are in situations where they may need information on their human rights. They will also be useful for people working with these groups, or people who would like to know more about the impact of human rights on these groups. To read the guides please click on the links below.

A flyer is available giving more information about the guides.

The guides are also available in accessible formats:

• Electronic disk
• Audio tape (disabled people and older people guides only)
• French, Farsi and Arabic (refugees and asylum seekers guide only)

Please contact us for electronic disk and audio tape versions.

Please note that we no longer have printed copies available of the mental health, older people and disabled people guides. Please contact Lucy Matthews on lmatthews@bihr.org.uk for copies of the refugee and asylum seeker guide.

We are very grateful to Comic Relief for funding this project.
