People who have been involved with the criminal justice system are at risk of rights violations as a direct result of stigma and discrimination from society and its institutions. Unfortunately, the advocacy and legal landscape within Scotland can make it difficult for people to access the support they need to defend their rights.
This skills-based course takes a human rights-based approach to supporting people to support themselves.
The course will help participants to:
- Understand their rights
- Know how to defend their rights when they are at risk of being violated
- Develop their assertiveness and self-advocacy skills
Who is it for?
- People who have a criminal record
- People who have a family member with a criminal record
- People who are under investigation for a crime
A basic level of literacy is required for this course.
This course can be delivered in-person or accessed online but it must be purchased through an organisation.
