Recommendation 39

39 Paragraph: 160

The proposed options would reduce rights protections for individuals.

Conclusion
The proposed options would reduce rights protections for individuals. Section 6 HRA places human rights front and centre of public authorities’ approach to providing services, helping to create a human rights culture. Any weakening of this duty is likely to undermine human rights culture within public authorities and would leave individuals with no choice but to pursue their claims in court.
