Human Rights Act ???

Tinkerbelle · 07-05-2005, 18:45

I have got an A Level essay that I have got to complete this week for college with a working title of "Basic Human Rights Are Well Protected In The UK Since The Implementation Of The Human Rights Act 1998" critically evaluate this statement.

I need it to be about 3000 words and up to now I'm only up to 1800 but I feel like I've covered every aspect. Anybody out there proficient in the workings of the Human Rights Act that can help me out before I rip my bleeding hair out

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

If you can't help with the essay can anyone tell me why I put myself up for this punishment again and again

Tinks......I thought I had some gubbins on this topic. We were given a load of stuff when I was still in the nursing profession.........but I have looked high and low and I can't find it.
I rarely throw stuff like that out......but it is not with the stuff from my working days.

Why don't you 'google' for some info.
If I find the stuff I will let you know.........as for your last queation.......maybe you like a challenge.

sorry can't help tinks as to why you put yourself through this punishment- think perhaps its your vocation if so go for it it'll pay off in the long run N.L.T.B.G.Y.D. good luck hope you get the info.

Track down a working Human Rights Policy related to the job intend to do and include it as a working example of the Act in Action..........

Margaret I have googled my little heart heart out already. I found a really good site called liberty.org that was full of useful information.

Cashman thanks for the good luck I'm gonna need it lol

Doug I know were your coming from I have used examples to get my point across such as Article 3 which prohibits torture and degrading treatment or punishment I used the Iraq and US and British soldiers and hostages like Ken Bigly being shown on TV.

Margaret Pilkington · 07-05-2005, 19:41

Don't give up Tinks.......you are more than halfway. Good luck with your searching.

Margaret Pilkington · 07-05-2005, 19:44

Oh just had a thought......you have probably incorporated it anyway...... the right for people in Jail to vote......don't know what section it would come under.
Because of the recent election there was some stuff in the paper about prisoners human rights being contravened because they were not allowed the vote.

Ahhh brilliant Margaret of course! That should be in The Times law reprts online I'll go and look. Thankyou

Margaret Pilkington · 07-05-2005, 19:54

you could argue that the prisoners human rights are not protected as he /she is not allowed to exercise their right to influence the democratic process.
Glad to be of help......I will keep scratching around to see if I can think of anything else.

oooH what about the couple in todays Mail...... have had their children removed and put up for adoption because they are a bit 'slow'........surely that contravenes the Human Rights Act.

thanks for that Margaret the European Court found that it does breach the right to free elections,

I'll have a look at the Mail story now, that sounds like it contravenes quite a few !

Margaret Pilkington · 07-05-2005, 20:27

Keep at it ..........I'm sure you'll get there.

That story in today's DM is incredible, and more than a little frightening. The husband doesn't actually have learning difficulties and that has been admitted. He apparently has lost his temper with the busybodies but who wouldn't when you look at how many people have been interfering in their lives. The fact that the little girl was clean and well dressed and well looked after makes me wonder how the heck she came to be on the at-risk register when I've known of children really neglected and left in dirty nappies all morning while the single parnt mother slept off the effects of the night before and social services did nothing!

Sorry Tinkerbelle, total thread wander there.

Have you covered the human rights of victims of crime?

Tinkerbelle · 07-05-2005, 23:27

lol Willow thread wandering you would never catch me doing that

No i was interested to read it because I can't find the story on the papers online bit, don't know if I will be able to still get the paper to read it tomorrow

O.K. Tink's try this, put your 1,973 words down on paper then in big bold letters type.

Although I must apologise for repeating myself I don't think any harm comes from emphasising the above points.

Then you copy and paste the whole article again and Hey, 1,973 suddenly becomes:-
3963 words

Problem Solved!

Tinkerbelle · 08-05-2005, 01:04

******g brilliant Less the fact i didn't think of that first is an indication that these silly essays are way above my head !!

They should also give me double marks since I wrote it twice
