Scotland’s Human Rights Bill: an opportunity to strengthen human rights and access to justice

This is the first episode of the Our Rights Stories podcast season 2 - created and developed by the JustRight Scotland team.

This episode looks at the proposal of a Human Rights Bill for Scotland - as it's being consulted on - with our guest speaker Barbara Bolton, Legal Director & Partner at JustRight Scotland.

We are focusing on this topic as part of our national campaign, which aims to raise awareness about #AllOurRights in Scotland and why access to justice must be a fundamental aspect of this new Bill. We also provide other organisations involved in this consultation process with information and detailed analysis about the proposals and on how this represents an opportunity to build a better future for all in Scotland, together.
