Welcome to Know Your Rights.

This short introductory episode explains why this podcast exists, what you can expect from future episodes, and who it’s here to help.

So many people in the UK run into problems with landlords, employers, government departments, debt, benefits, or everyday contracts — and are left feeling confused, powerless, or talked down to. Often the law does offer protection, but it’s buried under jargon, assumptions, and misinformation.

This podcast is about cutting through that.

Each episode will break down real, everyday legal rights in plain English — no legal lectures, no scare tactics, and no pretending the system is simpler than it is. The aim isn’t to give personal legal advice, but to help you understand the rules that affect your life, spot when something isn’t right, and know what questions to ask next.

If you’ve ever thought:

• “That can’t be allowed… can it?”
• “I don’t know where I stand with this”
• “I wish someone would just explain this clearly”

Then you’re in the right place.

New episodes will focus on practical situations people actually face, with clarity, context, and respect — because knowing your rights shouldn’t require a law degree or endless stress.
