There was a 50% increase in Room to Heal staff confidence about using human rights law in their work after the workshop.
Rights in Action
A Casework Coordinator in the London Refugee Support Team at the British Red Cross used the guide twice to challenge statutory services who were refusing to offer interpreting for clients trying to access urgent services such as housing.
After the Casework Coordinator made the local authority aware they risked breaching the Human Rights Act, they provided interpreters for the clients so they could fairly apply for their entitlements.
