The ALLIANCE works to support human rights to be embedded across health and social care policy and practice. The growing focus on human rights in Scotland is a welcome development towards building a society in which all people are equally valued.
The Scottish Government has committed to incorporating four international human rights treaties into Scots law via a new Human Rights Bill. Human rights incorporation has been a key priority for the ALLIANCE. In March 2021, 126 individuals and organisations joined the ALLIANCE and Inclusion Scotland in calling for full and direct incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People into Scots law. In June 2022 we held a session as part of our Annual Conference on the forthcoming Bill. We are planning to engage closely with members when the consultation for the Bill is published in 2023.
