On the evening of Thursday 27th March Trinity Chambers will be hosting a joint seminar with NYAS (National Youth Advocacy Service) followed by drinks.
NYAS is the largest independent provider of advocacy services to children in care across England and Wales. NYAS has a team of lawyers representing children in the courts. The charity helps give children a voice on decisions that impact their life.

Debbie will be joined by a young person who has benefited first hand from NYAS' support and who will share their experience.
