We link people's real experience to the legal obligations of the state and of service providers.
We analyse situations and policies against national law and the relevant international human rights instruments.
Autonomy, equality, access to justice, independent living, health, protection from abuse and monitoring of implementation.
Protection of life, integrity, liberty, private life, access to justice and non-discrimination.
Dignity, equality, solidarity, procedural rights and the protection of people within the scope of EU law.
The best interests of the child, and the child's participation, protection and development.
Dignity, autonomy, protection from abuse and equal access to services and the community.
Legislation on social services, the protection of persons, non-discrimination, and oversight and remedy mechanisms.
A standard becomes useful when we turn it into a question about the person's real life.
Can the person make their own decisions?
Can they go out and take part in community life?
Are they protected from abuse?
Do they have somewhere to complain, and are they listened to?
