Create a UK Rights Charter to replace the EU Charter
Create a single, modern UK Rights Charter to replace the protections lost after leaving the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Rights are currently scattered across different laws, and a unified charter would clearly set out the protections people can rely on today.

Background
After Brexit, no equivalent charter was created to replace the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Modern protections were not brought together into a single, clear framework, leaving rights scattered across separate laws and creating uncertainty for citizens, workers, students, and researchers. A unified UK Rights Charter would provide clarity, accountability, and confidence in the protections people can rely on in the 21st century.
