Lack of Accessto Justice Commission welcomes UN focus on access to justice and social security reform Reforms to the legal aid system, the introduction of employment tribunal fees and changes to the social security system have all been highlighted as major human rights concerns by the United Nations in a critical report. The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights raised concerns about access to justice, especially for disadvantaged and marginalized groups as well as in areas such as employment, housing, education and social security. Commissioner Lorna McGregor, said: 'Recent reforms to civil law justice have had particular impacts on disabled people, women and ethnic minorities. For example, the introduction of fees for employment tribunals has resulted in large drops in the numbers of claims brought for discrimination on the basis of sex, disability, race and sexual orientation. I welcome this report by the UN and we will now work with civil society organisations to hold the Government to account in this area.' Lorna McGregor continued: 'The UK Government should improve its planning and monitoring of reforms to social security. It should extend its analysis to include the cumulative impact of decisions on people sharing protected characteristics, review policies which have reduced protections and identify mitigating actions where adverse impacts are identified.' Notes to Editors • The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’ report can be found here • The majority of recommendations reflect the issues the Commission raised in its report to the Committee in April.

While the Committee takes note of the State party’s views on the incorporation of the Covenant rights into the domestic legislation, the Committee regrets that the Covenant rights cannot be applied directly by domestic courts, which may restrict access to effective legal remedies for violations of Covenant rights. • • 6. The Committee recalls its previous recommendation (see E/C.12/GBR/CO/ 5, para. 13) and urges the State party to fully incorporate the Covenant rights into its domestic legal order and ensure that victims of violations of economic, social and cultural rights have full access to effective legal remedies. The Committee draws the attention of the State party to its general comment No. 9 (1998) on the domestic application of the Covenant.

The Committee recommends that the State party undertake a broad public consultation on its plan to repeal the Human Rights Act 1998 as well as on the proposal for a new bill of rights. It also recommends that the State party take all necessary measures to ensure that any new legislation in this regard is aimed at enhancing the status of human rights, including economic, social and cultural rights, in the domestic legal order and that it provide effective protection of those rights across all jurisdictions of the State party. The Committee recalls its previous recommendation (see E/C.12/GBR/CO/5, para. 10) and urges the State party to take all necessary measures to expedite the adoption of a bill of rights for Northern Ireland.

- 60. Value everyone equally.Lived experience is as valuable as professional experience. We do this by offering to pay people who do not earn a salary.
- 61. Pay careful attentionto the practical arrangements to ensure everyone can participate – we have developed an Inclusion Form to make sure we identify and respond to everyone’s needs
- 62. Break down ‘them’and ‘us’ barriers whenever possible. Mix people up. Move away from ‘roles’ and instead focus on skillsets and ‘what we’re good at’.
- 63. Use tools tohelpeveryone have a voice e.g. stop / ‘I want to speak’ talking cards
- 64. Give people theopportunity to complain (within reason!), listen to the complaints and write them down. If they have ideas about changing the process, facilitate these when possible.
- 65. 4 Give people responsibilitiese.g. homework to complete beforehand. This will help those who perhaps don’t speak up in the group have their voice heard.
- 66. Develop a workingtogether agreement as a group. Ask people what their hopes for the project are and what their concerns are. As a group think about how you can overcome concerns and achieve the hopes together. Listen to others Respect Build confidence to speak up Use ‘stop’ and ‘I want to speak’ cards Trust (this takes time) Help each otherHonesty Get to know each other Mix us up so that we work with different people Have fun Learn together Ask for help if you need it
- 67. Avoid buzzwords andjargon.
- 68. Be transparent aboutwhere you are in the design process. Make people feel comfortable when they are in the idea generation, messy stages!
