The Human Rights path is about ensuring people know and declare their rights. Everyone must be aware that a person is held responsible for ensuring the rights of an individual are provided and met. A Human Rights approach states that not only people who use the service should have their rights in place and provided with but the other individuals around e.g. A family coming into a hotel, the family should know and be able to declare their rights however the staff in the hotel have also got their rights.
The panel principles are the critical principles which are required in the operation of the Human Rights approach:
- Participation – Everyone is able to cooperate in any changes that could influence their Human Rights.
- Accountability – To ensure successful observation and to also ensure that breaking or failing to observe a law agreement will lead to being solved.
- Non- discrimination and equality – All forms of discrimination should be abolished.
- Empowerment – Everyone should be aware of their rights.
- Legality – Everyone should be aware that rights are legally kept in force.
