The Commission is monitoring the use of new technologies within operational policing and has raised concerns about the potential human rights impacts of the use of these new technologies, particularly in relation to respect for privacy and family life, due process and the right to a fair trial and protection of democratic freedoms e.g. freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association and freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
We have been particularly concerned about the lack of available data for monitoring in the Highlands and Islands, when compared with the rest of Scotland. By listening to the lived experiences of residents and organisations in the area, as well as through our human rights treaty monitoring work, we identified specific issues affecting rural and island communities, such as:
Slow and inaccessible health care services
Lack of affordable housing
Limited access to sufficient and nutritious food
The Participation Coordinator will build and grow the Commission’s network of relationships with public sector bodies, civil society organisations and people whose rights are directly affected, creating a two-way dialogue between the Commission and its key stakeholders.
The Communications Assistant will provide administrative support to the Communications and Participation team, supporting the day-to-day delivery of the Commission’s communications and participation activities.
