Legal Aid Investigative Representation Applications (Community Care) -

Free online seminar Wednesday 17 July 1pm-2.15pm
Practical Use of Regulations and Guidance, Tips and Tricks

Details

In April we ran a well attended and well received webinar looking at the regulations and guidance relevant to applying for Investigative Representation funding from the LAA. Our aim is to support practitioners who, our research funded by the Legal Education Foundation has shown, experience difficulties and frustrations securing this higher level of Legal Aid funding, opting instead to continue their casework using lower paid, and financially unsustainable Legal Help.

In line with feedback this second webinar will be an opportunity to look more closely at the practical application of the regs & guidance, using case-based scenarios to consider the appropriate wording, placing of facts and supporting arguments, and the relevant factors to include in an application for Community Care casework. 

We will also look at the wider benefits of obtaining Investigative Rep funding for your case and your practice, and at what other support you might find useful in order to address problems securing Legal Aid funding. 

This is a standalone event in it's own right, you do not need to have been at the first webinar - however, equally, it is not a repeat of that session, there is fresh material and new information for people who wish to join us for a second time.
