We made a Submission to the Inquiry by the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights into the impact of the Government’s Covid-19 Emergency Powers
From March to July 2020, the York Human Rights City Network collected data from individuals and civil sector organisations and groups about their experience of the national and local response to Covid-19. This information was submitted as evidence to the Joint Committee on Human Rights Inquiry into the impact of the Government’s COVID-19 legislation which you can view here.
We would like to thank all those who have contributed to this submission.
Read or download the York Human Rights City Network submission.
Based on the submission, we have developed this action list for consideration by York’s Human Rights and Equalities Board.
