R2R Learning Programme: Putting People’s Rights into Practice

The core purpose of our learning programme is to empower professionals to uphold and implement people’s rights in everyday practice.

We offer facilitated, multi-agency group sessions, supported by a range of online materials.

Our approach stands apart from traditional education in two key ways:

• Collaborative, cross-sector learning: We bring together professionals from a variety of services and agencies to explore shared challenges. By exchanging insights and experiences, participants work collaboratively to drive meaningful change at a local level.

• Real stories, real impact: Through personal stories and guided discussions, we create space for honest conversations about what really happens on the ground. We focus on what matters most to the people who seek support, and explore the barriers—and opportunities—in delivering the care they need. Our sessions are inclusive, interactive, and grounded in real-world experience.

This learning fosters greater awareness of people’s rights—particularly in the context of long-term conditions and end-of-life care. It also strengthens local networks by building deeper connections between services and agencies. Both are essential to improving access to care and the quality of support people receive.
