Foreword
The report presents the findings from the Human Rights Insight Project, which set out to establish whether human rights could be used empirically as a tool to improve the public’s experiences of public services and if so, how we in Government could encourage and facilitate this.
The Project aimed to assess:
The report assesses the interface between human rights and public perception and demonstrates that the British public recognises that there is a need for a law to protect human rights in this country.
The report contains important findings which informed the Human Rights Programme arising from the Review of the implementation of the Human Right Act, set in train by Lord Falconer. The programme was successfully completed in September 2007. I believe it is now time for the findings to be made more widely available.
The Human Rights Insight Project was commissioned by the Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) whose functions were taken over by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) on 9 May 2007. Any reference in the document to DCA should be interpreted as now applying to the Ministry of Justice.
