The human right to social care: A potential for Scotland (Scottish Care)

This report explores the embedding of human rights within the social care sectors. In particular, it considers the concept of 'the right to health'. Based on this, the report argues for the rights to 'social care' and 'long-term care' as a human right. Practical applications of these human rights, for instance in self-directed support, decision-making, and workforce issues are discussed.
