The HRA stands for the Human Rights Act 1998 – a UK law that protects your basic rights and freedoms. It puts legal duties on public bodies like the police, courts, NHS, and local councils to respect and protect those rights in everything they do.
The Act covers things like your right to family life, freedom of expression, liberty, and protection from inhuman treatment. It’s often used in cases involving housing, care decisions, or where public services may have overstepped.
Although it doesn’t usually apply directly in private disputes, it still helps shape how UK laws are interpreted – especially when rights and fairness are in question.
At GloverPriest, we understand navigating the law can be a difficult task to take on alone. That’s why we created this comprehensive guide to help promote information for everyone to use.
