Human rights law protects and upholds the most basic rights of all members of society. For many vulnerable groups, human rights law is a valuable lifeline providing protection and security. Although this legal protection exists, many people are unsure of their rights and how to enforce them. Repeatedly problematic and confusing areas include privacy, freedom of expression, protest rights, police powers, discrimination, the rights of victims of crime and care for elderly or disabled people.

Liberty will provide advice and information on how to assert and protect individual human rights. The service will be accessed by the public and organisations seeking advice about human rights legislation. Legally trained staff and volunteers will provide advice an information by letter, email and telephone, focusing on providing practical assistance for real life situations. General information will be available through the bespoke website www.yourrights.org.uk
