Within this broad remit PLP has adopted three main objectives:

  • increasing the accountability of public decision-makers;
  • enhancing the quality of public decision-making;
  • improving access to justice.

Uniquely for an organisation of its kind, PLP undertakes research, policy initiatives, casework and training across the range of public law remedies.
