Training
As part of achieving our mission we’re committed to learning and sharing our knowledge and skills with others in our community.
Organisations and community groups that support people in need (like food banks, money advice services, mental health support services, GPs, and many more) often meet people with problems that could be helped by professional, accessible and free legal advice. People don’t always recognise that they have rights and protections in law that can help them address their problem.
Case Study
Some local people who had problems with their landlord asked their local community group for help. That organisation contacted us. We helped the people renting and the people helping them understand what the law in Wales says about what a landlord should do, and what steps they could take if their landlord wasn’t complying with it.
Events
Making Rights a Reality in North Wales
On 23rd May North Wales Community Law hosted a conversation on Making Rights a Reality in North Wales. It was a pleasure to be joined by- Matthew Court, Public Law Project (Wales lawyer), Owain Rhys James, Civitas Law, and Wendy Dearden Senior Research and Policy Officer for Bevan Foundation
Despite the Senedd passing legislation granting enhanced rights to individuals in a range of fields, including housing, education and social care, people’s lived experience often falls far short of what they are entitled to.
Our speakers discussed the role of the law in realising people’s rights and holding public bodies to account, and ways to overcome the gap between rights on paper and rights in practice.
