Summary of the WRLHRC

The Local Human Rights Committee (LHRC) are committees of community volunteers who are broadly representative of various professional and consumer interests. These committees play a vital role in the DBHDS’s Human Rights Program, serving as an external component of the human rights system.

The LHRC plays a role by:

conducting fact finding hearings and making recommendations for resolution of complaints not resolved informally.
reviewing and making recommendations concerning policies, procedures, practices, treatment plans, and restrictive programming.
reviewing and making recommendations concerning requests for variance to the Human Rights Regulations.
performing other oversight functions in the Local Human Rights Bylaws.
