Older people are afforded protection of their human rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 (the HRA 1998), which incorporates the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into domestic law. These rights may be asserted when facing difficulties in these areas: physical and mental health; community care; social care; housing; transport; employment; income; education and leisure; utilities and consumer protection; access to information; and decision-making.
