The National Advocacy Conference, organised by the indefatigable Kate Mercer, will be held at the NEC in Birmingham on 19 October. I am going to be a key note speaker, addressing advocacy as the support for legal capacity, as well as running a workshop on advocacy and available options. Other key notes speakers include David Schneider, Mark Neary, Karen Newbigging and June Saad. For more details, and to book, see here.
