In April 2010, Dr James Harrison, Mary Ann-Stephenson and Andrew Williams were commissioned by the Scottish Human Rights Commission to provide guidance on how to conduct human rights impact assessments. They created an eight step process which can be used in any human rights impact assessment and highlighted examples of good practice from around the world.. The report also highlights how the steps are to be implemented and how the process could function. The report is soon to be published on the Scottish Human Rights Commission website.
