Know Your Rights Training

Scottish Community and Activist Legal Project

SCALP are excited to announce some more upcoming workshops relating to protesting and knowing your rights in Scotland.Thinking of coming to COP26 this November? Would you like to support a group you are involved in or volunteer as a Legal Observer with SCALP in the future? Just generally want to be a bit more knowledgeable about your rights? (always useful!)For whatever reason, whether you're totally new to these things, or have a lot of experience but would like a wee reminder (especially if you haven't protested in Scotland before!) then you are welcome. We are specifically looking for folk keen to be involved in the legal support we are offering for COP26, as an LO or otherwise. There are many roles. Do get in touchAfter participating in both a Legal Observer and Know Your Rights training, you are welcome to sign up to our LO mailing list and begin being part of our amazing LO team, for COP26 and otherwise.Free (donations gratefully accepted through paypal)On Zoom1 and a half hours longCaptions availableYou will be sent a link once you have registered....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, your rights when it comes to things like 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 onlyWe’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.COVID regulations are frequently changing.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 be removed from the call. 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.When entering the meeting it will say 'this is being livestreamed'. This is only so that the sound can be livestreamed to the computer software for the automated captions. It is not being livestreamed anywhere else.To use the captions you can turn them on by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the zoom window next to where it says 'chat' etc, and clicking 'show subtitles'.About SCALP:The Scottish Community and Activist Legal Project (SCALP) is a collective of social and environmental justice activists, working to challenge police abuse, monitor protest policing and provide legal guidance.https://www.scottishactivistlegalproject.co.uk/You can sign up to the Legal Observer mailing list on our website once you have completed the trainings.
