Our Princples
-
Holistic self-determination: We focus on the whole person and the whole of a problem as a way of finding more healthy and sustainable solutions to legal issues, and work
with them to see a just outcome. -
Safe and right-based: We recognise human rights and freedoms as legally enforceable and give priority to people in the most marginalised or vulnerable situations who face the biggest barriers to realising their rights.
-
Systemic: We aim to create wider positive effects on a group or system as a whole, arising from our work with individuals and communities.
