All staff and students are welcome to attend the second Human Rights Lecture which will be given by Dame Anne Owers‚ Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons 2001–2010.

Tea and coffee will be provided in the South Corridor before the lecture at 5:30pm, the lecture begins at 6pm and it will be followed by a drink reception.
