working with other advocacy and related organisations and groups in the

Hub’s Reference Group was held on 1st March. The Principles
And Ethics Group, which guarantees the independence of advocacy services,
held its first meeting on 11th March. You can find more

that is detailed in Citizens and Advocacy.
