During this inform session, hear from Martin Stewart, National Advocacy Officer, who has a wealth of personal and professional experience in advocacy and self-advocacy.
Martin has assisted many BCA members to advocate for themselves on important issues and will share his experiences during this Inform Session. Martin will also be joined by BCA member Liz Wheeler, a passionate self-advocate who will share her personal experiences with self-advocacy.
