Human Rights
Human rights are the rights and freedoms that everyone should have. This means things like the right to life and the right to feel safe.
The human rights of people with learning disabilities are at the heart of 'The keys to life'.
What are our recommendations on human rights?
Organisations like councils and health boards should make sure their policies support the rights of people with learning disabilities to dignity and equality. This should be done by June 2014.
Local areas should talk to people with learning disabilities and involve them in future decisions.
People with learning disabilities should be given information so they know what their human rights are. They should also be given support to put these rights into practice.
