Disabled people and European human rights: A review of the implications of the 1998 Human Rights Act for disabled children and adults in the UK

Disabled People and European Human Rights: A Review of the Implications of the 1998 Human Rights Act for Disabled Children and Adults in the UK examines how the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law through the Human Rights Act 1998 affects the rights and daily lives of people with disabilities. The book analyzes legal provisions, court cases, and policy developments to assess whether the Act enhances protection against discrimination and promotes inclusion for disabled individuals. It highlights key issues such as access to education, healthcare, housing, and independent living, while also addressing the gaps in enforcement and awareness of disability rights. Through a critical review, the publication underscores the potential of human rights law to empower disabled people and to influence broader social and institutional change in the UK.
