Human rights

‘Human rights’ is a term used to describe the basic rights that all people have, whether they have a disability, are older, or are children. The rights of people who rely on community services to help them meet their needs always include these basic human rights, such as the right to make choices about their own life, the right to access food, shelter, warmth, the company of others and the right to a place in the community without discrimination. It also means the person has the right to make complaints.
