What do I get from the Human Rights Act Policy Academy?

Participants in the Human Rights Act Policy Academy receive:

  • A certificate of completion: Recognising your participation in a specialist, practice‑focused professional development programme for policy, campaigns and advocacy professionals.

  • A course handbook: Bringing together key frameworks, tools and approaches for using the Human Rights Act fluently and strategically in policy and campaigning work, to support ongoing practice beyond the Academy.

  • A supported practice project: You will work on a live project drawn from your own role or organisation, applying learning directly to real policy or campaigning challenges, with structured support and reflection throughout the Academy.

  • A strong professional network: You’ll build relationships with a cohort of peers from across the sector, all working with a shared understanding of the Human Rights Act and a commitment to high‑quality, rights‑based practice.

  • Part of a new cohort of HRA‑confident policy and campaigns professionals: Including connection beyond the course itself, with an annual gathering to maintain learning, confidence and collective capacity across the sector.
