Know Your Rights Workshops:
Know Your Rights to protest in Scotland (Scotland is different to England, Wales and Northern Ireland).
The workshop aims to facilitate learning around a variety of useful things related to your rights. Things we'll touch on include, how to talk or not talk with Police if you are approached, Stop and Search, how to identify who's who within the policing team at protests, and what to expect and how to support yourself and each other.
.....
General Principles:
We’re talking about Scottish Law only
We’re not lawyers - there are plenty of good reasons to get professional legal advice - we offer these trainings to support activists and community.
We recognise that Police are institutionally racist and disproportionately police certain communities.
Facilitators will work to ensure that all trainings are as welcoming as possible and that any abusive or oppressive behaviour is challenged. Anyone who continues to behave in an unacceptable way may asked to leave the training.
If there is anything we can do to make the training safer or more accessible for you, please let us know when you register (such as providing transcripts etc).
The training will not be recorded but we will run more in the future.
