  • Empowering the voluntary sector - NAVCA and the Public Law Project are working together to run learning events on the use of public law.
  • Induction training for new LIO Chief Officers - a day-long course for those new to the network.
  • Chief Officers' Residential Event - a two-day event for LIO chief officers to network and share experiences and ideas.
  • NAVCA annual conference - a variety of workshops and plenary sessions on a wide range of topics.
  • Individual events focus on a variety of policy issues.
