ASPire Hub

Human rights

All adults who have capacity have the right to make their own choices about their lives, and these choices should be respected if they are made freely. Human rights legislation protects this, while a broader human rights approach seeks to maximise participation and promote adults' voices. The resources in this category will help put human rights at the heart of ASP work.

Significant case review / learning review - Margaret Fleming: presentation to CPC/ASP joint meeting (Inverclyde)

This presentation was delivered in April 2024 to a joint Child Protection / Adult Support and Protection meeting. It explains the significant case review / learning review of Margaret Fleming, who was murdered late 1999/early 2000. The review sought to learn from Margaret's life and explicitly adopts a human rights and trauma-informed approach. The learning disability community were included within the review.
