NAVCA and the Public Law Project are providing training to support thevoluntary sector in understanding the principles and framework ofpublic law. 

This training workshop costs £41 (including VAT and light lunch) and is being held across the country. (N.B. This training will not be women-only)

The training will give you the skills and knowledge to influencedecisions made by public bodies. Southall Black Sisters recently usedpublic law to successfully challenge a funding decision made by EalingCouncil.

• “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!”
