Training & Events
We provide high quality, low cost training in a wide range of subjects to advisers and other professionals working in Bristol and across the South West – all at a sensible price.
Courses are delivered by independent subject specialists mainly focusing on social welfare law. Training is aimed at those for whom knowledge of benefits is essential, including advice workers, frontline support staff, community and self help groups and professional lawyers.
