Transforming Organisations
Scottish Recovery Consortium
We a currently running a human rights course for Practice Leads working in lived experience recovery organisations across Scotland running from October 2023 to February 2024. It was developed and delivered in partnership with the Scottish Recovery Consortium to build on our 2022 human rights capacity-building programme.
How we designed the programme
The aim of this project is to advance awareness on rights-based addiction recovery in Scotland, reflecting the challenges that people in recovery face within the new national post-Covid-19 context and how the Human Rights Act can be used to advocate for better outcomes on a practical level.
The programme is fully co-designed in collaboration with the Scottish Recovery Consortium, based on a review of the 2022 programme and assessment of current requirements. The aim of of this co-delivery is to improve the knowledge and confidence of people with lived experience of addiction and recovery, and for them to be able to have an overview of human rights and related legislation, guidance and policy, and use this knowledge for practice-based change.
About the programme
This programme will be run in several stages:
- We conducted an initial full joint review of the similar programme co-delivered in 2022 with the Scottish Recovery Consortium to assess outcomes and impact, in order to co-design the 2023 programme to reflect the changes on a national level.
- We co-developed and will co-deliver a five-day Practice Leads human rights course, delivered as two full days in person and six half days online. The programme will run from 12th October 2023 to 15th February 2024.
- We will undertake periodical debriefings and planning with Scottish Recovery Consortium before and after each session.
- A comprehensive course handbook will be published to all participants as a resource for their own reference.
The future of this programme
This programme will run until February 2024.
