Human Rights

Our Human Rights (including International) Team: Children and Families

Our human rights team represents children within care proceedings and those with mental health difficulties. We are dedicated to the principles of fairness and equality underpinning the Human Rights Act 1998.

The team tracks developments within human rights jurisprudence arising from this jurisdiction, as well as the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, and is well-placed to provide up-to-date opinions.
