New Housing Law unit piloted in West Midlands Tuesday, 13th April 2010

Volunteer lawyers from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council have been the first to pilot our new Housing Law unit with students at their partner school, Oldbury College of Sport in the West Midlands. Their thoughts and feedback from the session will be used to fine-tune the new unit before it is used by volunteers in other schools later this year. 

We are currently working on the first of three new units covering aspects of Family Law.  The first unit will shortly be piloted in a school later this month and will focus on issues relating to marriage and cohabitation, with units on the age of consent and parental responsibility planned for next year’s sessions.  

If you have any suggestions for activities or issues which could be dealt with in future Lawyers in Schools materials please get in touch with the team on lawyersinschools@citizenshipfoundation.org.uk
