Community Engagement Conference: 6th January
6 - 9pm, Friday 6 January
Empress State Building, Empress
Approach, Lillie Road, Earls Court, London
SW6 1TR
What's this about?
Last year we undertook to convene an
engagement meeting after the trial of Stephen Port had
concluded. We cordially invite you to this extended
event. Not only will you be able to voice your questions
and concerns about the Port case, but you will also be
briefed on an array of learning and development
activities that are particularly relevant. This includes
the review of GBL-related deaths, the review of
unexpected death procedures, and the chemsex training
and guidance programme.
As you can see from the programme below,
more than 50% of the time is allocated to enabling
community members to have their say. That's why the
programme runs from 6-9pm including refreshments to
sustain you! We recognise that Friday night may be an
unusual day for the event, but until the replacement to
New Scotland Yard opens in the Spring, the main
conference suite at Empress State Building is heavily
over subscribed.
Please pass this invitation on all the
contacts in your own networks.
Please register online using our online form (preferred method).
Alternatively,
register by email to communitymeeting@lgbtag.org.uk with your name, contact
email, dietary and access requirements. For further enquiries,
please call 020 3524 0562.
