“I have always appreciated the special role that BIHR has plays within the network of human rights organisations in the UK, in showing how important human rights are to the everyday lives of people – whether in relation to health services, education, accessing the justice system or in challenging poverty. BIHR does amazing work supporting both individuals and professionals to understand and use the human rights framework and to see human rights as an important building block of our democracy. As someone living in northern England I am particularly impressed with the way BIHR gets out of London and offers its services to all parts of the country.”
