Today we talk with Maria McCloskey, PILS Director, and Emma Cassidy, Senior Engagement Lead at PILS about what PILS is and what the team does, how the staff members take on new projects and develop them to help and support communities across Northern Ireland, how important strategic cases are as they impact not just one person but a number of people in our society and how the UK Government’s hostile environment policies are negatively affecting people and above all, children, in Northern Ireland.
The team also speaks about their latest projects including their recent podcast To Be Fair NI (shout out to this amazing new series!) and their upcoming toolkit for public interest litigation.
