SCALP is run by its members: if you are interested in joining or getting involved please do get in touch. There are all sorts of tasks to do, few of which require specialist knowledge.
The SCALP structure – circles
SCALP uses circles (or groups) as way of organising
Working group circles which are mostly open for those interested to join
Core Collective circle which is invite only and uses consensus decision making
Working groups
Some of these working groups are active at all times and others are used only when needed

- Court Support
- Outreach and Welcome
- Guide Writing

We also have temporary action based working groups set up sometimes for more in-depth legal support planning.
