About this Event
Navigating the legal system, with complex intersections of areas of law, presents many challenges for victim survivors.
Early and ongoing identification of legal issues, followed by referral to legal advice, are important first steps in supporting clients through this. An understanding of legal processes and concepts can further enhance the work of practitioners in supporting their clients as they engage with various jurisdictions, and lead to effective collaboration with lawyers.
