Using public law and the gender equality duty to challenge public body decisions

A one-day workshop on using public law and the gender equality duty to challenge public body decisions affecting the voluntary sector.  The day will include:

• sessions on what public bodies get wrong and how to make them put it right;
• key questions to put to public bodies on the gender equality duty;
• case studies on recent challenges by women’s sector organizations.

The trainer is a lawyer specializing in advising voluntary sector organizations on challenging public body decision-making, including the withdrawal of funding and failures to consult.

"Very good training – has given me skills and confidence to challenge.”

"I came in completely ignorant and despite my very slow reading feel surprised at how much I was able to take in – perhaps because it had a very clear focus on how it can be useful?”

"Everything was very useful.  I’ve actually got from this workshop more than I expected.  Very practical, focussed and straightforward.”

"Probably the most valuable course I have been on for a long time.”

“Enjoyable and put in a way for non-legal people to understand.”

“All excellent; Louise is a brilliant trainer, very knowledgeable – delivered in a professional but fun way – approachable and funny.”
