BIHR's Communites of Practice

July 2020

At BIHR we have recently launched our new Communities of Practice Platform! This is essentially BIHR’s own little social networking site where you can all have your say on the key human rights issues that affect your life and work.

On Communities of Practice you can:

  • Access our resources and information and find out about human rights. We hold monthly Lunch and Learns where you can discuss human rights with BIHR staff.
  • Discuss and create change with people in a similar situation, whether that is about your life or your work. We have 3 community groups you can join: 1. People accessing health and care services; 2. Campaigning/Advocacy groups; 3. People working in health and care.
  • Share your expert experience with us. This will inform what we tell those in positions of power about the human rights issues that impact you, including but not limited to the 2 inquiries mentioned above.

Lunch & Learn

Our Lunch and Learns are popular and informative. We usually hold them every final Wednesday or Thursday of the month and focus on a different theme each month. Recently we have held Lunch & Learns on the right to marry and start a family, and the right to freedom of assembly and association. Our Lunch & Learns are usually exclusive to Communities of Practice members.

On 10 December 2021, it is Human Rights Day. To get ready for this, we are running 2 FREE open access Lunch & Learns where you can come along for an informal 30 minute workshop. Sign up below:

  • Why Our Human Rights Act Matters... and how it works. Thursday 14 October 1 - 1.30pm. Click here to register.
  • Why Our Human Rights Act Matters... in advocacy. Tuesday 2 November 1 - 1.30pm. Click here to register.

Find out Why Our Human Rights Act Matters at FREE Lunch & Learns

Stay tuned for more Lunch & Learn updates in January 2022.

Which group should I join?

If you are accessing or trying to access care and support, or support a family member or friend, then you can join our “People” Community.

If you would like to join up as an organisation and continue human rights conversations, you can join our “Advocacy and Campaigning” Community.         

If you work in public services and or in a private, charitable or voluntary bodies delivering public services , you can join our "Staff" Community.                                                                                                           

If you would like your voice to directly impact our human rights policy responses, please join!
