Introduction 

As normal citizens in the UK we are expected to follow the laws of the country and be good citizens. Members of the public services also have to obey the laws that everyone else does, but they have additional laws to follow because they have additional powers that normal citizens do not have.
 
Every statutory public service in the UK has its own legislation, to describe not only how the service should function but also its limitations and restrictions. Members of the public services should be role models and examples to others. They need to have authority and that can only be achieved if they are good citizens and obey the law themselves.
 
Human rights are things to which individuals in society are entitled. These rights are laid down in law, so if these rights are violated, then a UK citizen can go to court to seek justice. The principal law in the UK is the Human Rights Act 1998.
 Human rights can be split into two sections:
              1. Protection

              2. Rights or entitlements

You will learn 

  1. Human Rights Act 1998
  2. Other legislation (law) that protect your rights as a UK citizen
