The UN Convention: Our Foundation
B-HART’s work is grounded in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), which sets out the rights of people with disability worldwide. We translate its articles into practical action for the Australian disability sector.
Accessibility
The right to access spaces, transport, and information.
Equal Recognition Before the Law
The right to make legal decisions with support if needed.
Independent Living and Community Inclusion
The right to choose where and with whom to live.
Education
The right to inclusive learning with proper supports.
Health
The right to equal healthcare without discrimination.
Employment
The right to work with equal pay and adjustments.
Participation in Public Life
The right to vote, run for office, and be heard.
How We Make Rights Real
B-HART makes these rights accessible and actionable through training that also incorporates the Inner Development Goals, rights-based Positive Behaviour Support, and trauma-informed care. Together, these pillars ensure that rights are not only understood, but lived in everyday practice.
