What can BSWN do to achieve racial equity and better access to justice for Black and Minoritised communities? Following the amazing turnout at our September 2023 Access to Justice Conference at Burges Salmon Bristol Office, we’ve made significant strides in our mission to improve access to justice for Black and Minoritised communities in the South West of England. Out of the energy and ideas from our Conference Action Plan, BSWN has launched a Pilot Project to tackle systemic racism at legal, strategic, and policy levels. This session is your chance to hear about our progress, share your insights, and help shape our future plans. Join our conversation! https://ow.ly/oxpJ50SYfCU
