Equality and Human Rights Education

These pages are a collection of videos, links and information about equality and human rights. They include stories about people’s experiences of discrimination and inequality, information about law and policy, and examples of best practice.

You can use all this information for your own learning and to start discussions about equality and human rights in your teams.

The information on these pages should help you:

1. Understand and meet people’s different needs.
2. Create safe and inclusive places for people who work with us and use our services.
3. Increase the diversity of NHS Lothian staff, so we better represent the communities we serve.
