It’s the final day of #AdvocacyAwarenessWeek & we’re looking at the right to be free from discrimination
This can protect you from being treated worse than other people, for example because of your race or having a disability
This right has to link to your other Human Rights
SWAN’s services employ and support a wide range of diverse people within the communities we serve. It is only right therefore that our Board of Trustees is representative of these diversities. Meet Nen Pillay our new Trustee ⬇️

The right to be safe from inhuman or degrading treatment
This can include serious harm from a lack of care or support, severe abuse or ill-treatment by others. Public services staff must protect you from serious harm.
