Empowering the Voluntary Sector - Using the principles of public law and the Compact - 10 attended

  Registration is closed for this event
A one day workshop exploring how to use the principles of public law and Compact to challenge unjust and unfair decision making by public bodies

Many organisations find it difficult to balance the need to work with public bodies and to challenge unfair practice.

The award winning Empowering the Voluntary Sector workshops delivered by NAVCA in conjunction with Compact Advocacy and the Public Law Project provides clear information and guidance to help you to make appropriate and successful challenges to public sector organisation on their decision making process.

The overarching objectives the workshop are;

  • Develop an understanding of the principles of public law and the Compact
  • Identify when a public body has not acted lawfully, or has failed to comply with the Compact
  • Understand the actions available to you

“Successfully challenging an adverse decision can not only secure vital community services, it can be an empowering experience which helps combat the very roots of social exclusion.”  – Kevin Curley – Chief Executive Officer - NAVCA
