These free half-day events will explore how advocacy touches on all of our lives. They will be of interest to anyone that is concerned about equality and building more inclusive communities. Those involved in any role within health, social, community and pastoral work will find these sessions to be of particular relevance to their work.

The sessions will include:

• Introduction to the concept of advocacy and the various advocacy roles
• How advocacy relates to our daily lives and work
• Understanding when conflicts of interest arise and the importance of independent advocacy in avoiding them
• The history of, and background to, advocacy in Liverpool
• Advocacy Plus – working holistically to promote and protect human rights

These events will be held in Liverpool city centre and will be led by Joe Monaghan of the National Coalition of Advocacy Schemes.
