New guidance to help regulators put human rights into practice
We have published guidance to support regulators, inspectorates and ombudsmen (RIOs) in England and Wales so they can continue to build human rights into their work.

The guide 'Human Rights in Action: Case studies from Regulators, Inspectorates and Ombudsmen' includes a range of real life case studies developed in partnership with RIOs. These show how organisations are using human rights in practical ways to guide how they inspect, regulate and monitor public services. It is aimed at those who lead RIOs as they develop their organisational policies, policy officers, lawyers, assessors, researchers and other operational staff. It will also be of value to those with a general interest in how human rights can improve services.

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK Comments: Mr John Major  is right about migrants in the UK and worldwide. Most of  migrants  leave their countries as asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lack of freedom and human rights abuses. Other leave their countries just to look for new opportunities.
