What we do

PLP is committed to promoting progressive reforms to judicial review and wider constitutional reforms. Legislative and policy reforms pursued by the current Government risk seriously undermining the mechanisms by which marginalised groups can challenge public bodies.

We continue to focus on the development and dissemination of accessible research and evidence-based storytelling to counter inaccurate and harmful narratives that seek to limit government accountability.

Our main goals in this area are:

  • Greater engagement in and clarity on the meaning and significance of constitutional reform among key audiences
  • Improvement in the debate around mechanisms of legal and political scrutiny
  • Government accountability mechanisms are improved (or at least maintained)
