Your Rights
It's come to our attention that a majority of people don't know their rights. So we'd like to help. Below you'll find summaries of acts and legislation which may apply to you. Hovering over the boxes will give a more detailed version of this summary.
If that still isn't enough information for you, the "learn more" option will take you to the official UK government's page, breaking down each act/law. There is also a list of other helpful resources for understanding what your rights are.
