This course will involve some limited role play, to enable you to apply some of the knowledge and practice to scenarios that the speaker has prepared. The scenarios will be sent to you in advance of the course and you will be invited to read these in advance, so as to assist you better on the day of the course.
Given the course is set at an introductory level, it is not assumed that you will have prior knowledge in the areas of law and practice and therefore time will be taken during the course to explain the relevant law and practice as well.
