British Institute of Human Rights (BIHR) Resources
|
British Institute of Human Rights have recently been working on some resources that may be useful for parent carers. BIHR and their Lived Experience Experts created two resources on human rights in Children and Young People’s Mental Health Inpatient Services as part of an ongoing project with NHS England.
These resources are about human rights for children and young people in mental health inpatient settings, including information on staff’s duties, relevant rights, real life examples and details of how to challenge decisions which aren’t rights respecting.
They have created two resources: a shorter version of the resource, aimed at children and young people in inpatient settings with the vital information about human rights they need to know. They also have an extended version, suitable for young people and their parents, which features more detail and real-life examples.
Both resources are in plain language and available to download from the [BIHR website].
As part of Children’s Mental Health Week, BIHR are holding a launch event for the resources on:
Friday 10th February 2023 at 10am to 11.30am
The event is open to anyone who is interested in finding out more about the resources. Lived Experience Experts will discuss their experiences using human rights in real-life and how the resource is designed to help with advocacy and self-advocacy. There will also be a chance to ask questions and give feedback on the resources.
