The UK government is committed to protecting civil society space around the world, but are the restrictions on advocacy and campaigning in the UK undermining these critical efforts?
A panel of experts will discuss how we can improve civil society space in the UK, and set a positive example for other countries. You’ll get a better understanding of challenges facing civil society and how to respond to them, including the Lobbying Act, anti-advocacy clauses, bank de-risking and Charity Commission regulations.
This session is for: policy and advocacy professionals, programmes professionals
