Rights Committee

St Paul’s Service established the Rights Committee in November 2012. The Committee meets on a quarterly basis. Its aims are to review and advise on the protection and safety of children and adolescences within the service. The committee has an advisory role and reports to and communicates directly with the Executive Management Committee. Any individual using the service, their advocate or a member of staff may refer an issue to the Rights Committee. It oversees best practice in the areas of:

Restrictive Practices
Basic Rights
Advocacy
Complaints

Each month The Rights Review Committee identify a ‘Right of the Month’ to focus attention upon. These are published below for staff and parents to reflect upon.
