What is the Intermediary Cooperative?
The Intermediary Cooperative (TIC) is an innovative, not-for-profit social enterprise offering high quality HMCTS Appointed Intermediary services across England and Wales. Built on core social values, we are passionate about ensuring fair access to justice, whilst giving back to the communities in which we serve.

The Intermediary Cooperative intermediaries work directly with vulnerable people during police interviews, court hearings, legal conferences and full trials.

The 2025 Intermediary Cooperative conference "Collaboration: A Cooperative approach to achieving fairer justice" has an overarching theme of collaborative working in the justice sector. The audience could include intermediaries, solicitors, barristers, advocates, academics and other interested parties working in the field. Talks will last approximately 45 minutes each, including time for questions.

The International Law and Human Rights Unit, part of the School of Law and Social Justice at the University of Liverpool, warmly invites postgraduate research students to its Annual Postgraduate Conference in International Law and Human Rights. This year, the conference theme is Conflict and Contestation in International Law. We are happy for the conference theme to be broadly construed.
