Training

All volunteers will receive comprehensive training during September 2011 before the clinics commence in October. Training sessions will be organised and provided by the CDLP and are open to members of the public, as well as student volunteers, although only law student volunteers can be included on the clinic rota. Training will be offered on discrete areas of law which are likely to be the main focus of clinic queries e.g. employment, housing, education, social welfare and non-discrimination. In addition, disability equality and awareness training will be provided along with the skills volunteers will need to listen effectively at clinics, communicate with users, and keep relevant data on queries presented. Completion of all training will be a pre-condition for inclusion on the clinic rota.

Training sessions will run from 5pm-6.30pm on Wednesdays in September (beginning on the 7^th September).
