From November CCEN will be running sessions on Public Law and how the Voluntary and Community Sector can use this to challenge the bad behaviour of public bodies - such as the council or PCT - and propose better working practices that are fair to you and your service users.
The session will cover the key principles and how to spot
By the end of the session you will have ideas of what remedies are open to you and how to go about getting a fair decision!
Check out Voluntary Action Camden's Training Calendar to find when sessions are being held. You can access the training calender here :

Public consultation on the Council's preferred options for the Core Strategy and Development Policies for Camden's Local Development Framework will take place in October and November 2008
The Local Development Framework (LDF) will eventually replace the Unitary Development Plan (UDP) as the planning framework for the borough. It is a collection of documents including a Core Strategy, Area Action Plans and other policies related to planning. The Core Strategy is intended to reinforce the priorities set out in Camden's Community Strategy in the context of planning and urban design.
Further reports will be produced by the Council to aid consultation. A CCEN Seminar on 28 October will look at some of the issues and options identified in the consultation document. Watch this space for updates.
