NAVCA and the Public Law Project are providing training to support the voluntary sector in understanding the principles and framework of public law.

The training will give you the skills and knowledge to influence decisions made by public bodies. Southall Black Sisters recently used public law to successfully challenge a funding decision made by Ealing Council.

We’ve negotiated a special deal for WRC members who can access this training free of charge.

• “This training was a real eye opener for me. Understanding this legal framework and how to use it for the benefit of an organisation is probably one of the most powerful tools I have come across. Not to be missed!”
  Vivienne Hayes, Chief Executive, Women’s Resource Centre.
