HDC eLearning
|
We received an email from HDC asking us to share the link to a video for consumers explaining the code of rights. Their excerpt text read:
|
|
“When you use a health or disability service in Aotearoa New Zealand, you have the protection of the Code of Rights.
|
|
It’s important that everyone knows their rights so they can ask questions, seek support, and ensure their voices are heard. The Health and Disability Commissioner has produced an animated video to explain your rights so you can ask questions, get support and make sure your voices are heard.
|
The video is in te reo Māori and English, we encourage you to share them to make sure everyone knows their rights.”
