Human rights

 

 

Thursday 8 September 2011, Sheffield

Do you work with:

● groups that work specifically with individuals?

● people from diverse backgrounds and experiences?

● groups to enable them to improve the lives ofthe people they support?

As a development worker you will probably work with one or more of the groups described above but may never have considered how human rights and equalities affect your work. Understanding human rights and equalities means that you can identify and understand discrimination and oppression but also develop practical strategies to challenge discriminatory practices and promote social justice.

By attending this course you will:

● understand how human rights can be used to enable people you work with to take positive action in challenging inequality and prejudice

● understand how human rights relate to equality and diversity

● understand the core principles, standards and features of human rights and how rights 'work'.
