Introduction to Your Rights

There are lots of situations where we need to know our rights. For example, at work; should I have a contract of employment, how many hours can my employer make me work?

Other times where you might want to know about your rights include:

• Dealing with the police
• If you have a problem with something you bought
• If you feel you were discriminated against, maybe at school or college or at work

There are many laws to help us protect these rights, including the Human Rights Act, Disability Discrimination Act and Sex Discrimination Act. Click on the links on the left for more info.
