National Care Service: Human Rights and the Charter
This is a supporting document for the National Care Service Charter of Rights. It describes some of the human rights that are engaged by social care, social work and community health and explains how these rights are reflected in the Charter.
7. Other relevant international human rights
The international human rights described in section 6 are those that are considered to be particularly relevant to a social care, social work and community health context. However, because human rights are interdependent, other international human rights may also be relevant.
For example social care, social work and community health support could be important for enabling people to realise their right to work (ICESCR Article 6), their right to education (ICESCR Article 13) and their right to take part in cultural life (ICESCR Article 15).
