Commentary on “Human rights training: impact on attitudes and knowledge”

This paper seeks to provide a commentary on the previous paper in this issue “Human rights training: impact on attitudes and knowledge”.

This commentary poses the question as to whether human rights training can have an effect on attitudes towards human rights and, if so, which approach is the most effective.

The paper outlines the distinction between two different types of approach to human rights training and suggests that the “activist” approach set out by Nancy Flowers would go further towards winning hearts and minds.

This paper focuses on co‐designed and co‐delivered approaches to training and underlines the importance of the need for people with learning disabilities to have the space to tell their own stories.
