Article 3, Article 1; right to vote

Residents and staff shared their feelings if they were abused, bullied or ignored.
Sad, upset, angry, afraid , annoyed…
The learning outcomes:
- We all have the same human rights ,
- We know what to do enjoy our rights:
- Call the Police 999 , tell my key worker, tell the manager …
- Some residents and staff members voted by post.
- Independent advocacy will help residents to know their rights and enjoy them.
Many thanks to John Street House for the warm welcome.
