Datalaw has collaborated with experienced local authority and family solicitor Safda Mahmood, along with children’s guardian Nenna Hira, to innovate the process of obtaining the Children Law Accreditation and applying for children’s panel membership. Instead of attending a conventional 3-day conference, practitioners now have the flexibility to complete the required 18 hours of training remotely, from their homes or offices.
The Law Society Children Law Accreditation 2024 is a mandatory, in-depth 18-hour program designed to significantly enhance practitioners' understanding of both private and public children law, including crucial areas such as injunctions and adoption law. This course is meticulously crafted to not only expand legal knowledge but also to ensure that users meet the requirements for Law Society Children Panel membership.
Led by experienced family and children solicitors alongside seasoned children's guardians, the course offers a wealth of practical guidance, rooted in real-world application and case studies. Participants will delve into the intricacies of private children law, covering procedures, enforcement, and local authority procedures and duties. The curriculum also addresses emergency steps, interim removal, contact, assessments, thresholds, the use of experts, and human rights issues related to children law.
Achieving this accreditation in Children Law and becoming part of the children’s panel can significantly advance your career. It signifies your capability to manage various child-related legal matters, highlighting your specialisation within the field.
