CPAG in Scotland
This event is in the past
Build your skills with this practical course on effective legal research for benefit casework. Competent casework starts by knowing the right questions to ask your client. Whether you are helping clients decide on the right course of action or supporting them with an appeal, the facts relevant to the case depend on the law. This course is a guide to finding the relevant law online, essential for anyone working at home without access to the usual resources.
The course looks at:
• Explaining the building blocks of the law - Acts, regulations and caselaw
• Skills in researching law and guidance relevant to a case
• Where to find the law and guidance online, and effective use of these resources
• An introduction to CPAG’s benefit case diagnostic tools and template submissions to aid effective and accurate casework

10.00 - 11.15 training session delivered via Zoom
