They understand the importance of the Human Rights Act (1998), and recognise how it relates to aspects of everyday life. They know that the Human Rights Act is underpinned by common values. They are aware that the rights of individuals and groups can sometimes compete and/or conflict, and that striking a balance of rights is important. They understand what happens when people's rights are infringed or denied and they have investigated examples from local, national and global contexts.
