The Scottish Human Rights Commission has published its Annual Report for 2017-18..

Judith Robertson, Chair of the Commission, said: 

"The Commission will mark its tenth anniversary as Scotland's National Human Rights Institution in December.  As we approach this landmark, we have a strong sense of sustained momentum behind our work to promote and protect the human rights of everyone in Scotland.  

"This Annual Report, covering the period to March 2018, details a range of significant and notable developments in the laws, policies and practices that people need in order to fully enjoy their rights.
