The Commission has responded to the Scottish Government's consultation on guidance on engaging communities in decisions relating to land.

Minutes of Scottish Human Rights Commission meeting of May 2017

The European Network of National Human Rights Institutions has released a joint statement on the human rights implications of privatising or contracting out public services.

The Commission has responded to the consultation on the 10 year strategy for policing in Scotland. We welcome the commitment to the values of fairness, integrity and respect as well as to a rights based approach to policing in the proposed strategy. However, we recommend that human rights should be explicitly cited whilst mainstreamed across the whole strategy.

We invited interested parties to tender for a contract to develop and deliver a nationwide participatory process. The deadline for receipt of applications was Tuesday 23rd May 2017. If you have any questions related to this tender, please contact Emma Hutton or Kirsty Innes on 0131 244 3550 or at Emma.Hutton@scottishhumanrights.com / Kirsty.Innes@scottishhumanrights.com
