Laws & Rights

Everyone has to follow laws, but everyone also has rights. Find out more about the law and your rights.

It can be quite difficult knowing what to do if you see a crime, are the victim of a crime, or think you may have committed a crime.

Are you being treated unfairly, maybe at school/college/university, in work or in the community?

It is important to know your ‘Entitlements’ and equally know what your own responsibilities are as a young person.
