Website Authorised Users – Are all your colleagues signed up to use the Consortium website? There is no limit on the number of users that each member organisation can register. Some organisations have registered all their legal staff, others have been selective. If on reflection and so that all staff can appreciate the benefits of using the Consortium website you want to add new users we will need the approval of the Head of Service but from there we will sort it out for you! Please either complete the form on the homepage of the website or contact Beryl Heath on bh_nwlconsortium@btinternet.com to add more authorised users for your organisation
Course Materials
If you or your colleagues have missed out on one or more of our Consortium training sessions (including presentations at the Annual Training Event) you might find it helpful to see the slides/presentation from the session. These are all available in the documents area of the website at www.nwlegalconsortium.com
New NWLC Practice Managers Group
Following the Practice Management training session on 30th June the newly formed Practice Managers Group met to reflect on the morning’s learning and to plan future agendas. So coming up we’re planning a further session in October based around Business Continuity Planning and again in January/February around Performance Measurement. In addition we have plans for a Risk Management workshop and we’ll be keeping an eye at each session on updates from the SRA – with changes pending this will serve us well. If you or a colleague wish to join the Group that’s absolutely fine – we’d welcome further input from Practice Management /Business Development colleagues as well as legal practitioners. All the presentations from the session on the 30th June are available in the Documents area of the website. At the event, we heard from Damon Swindell about the Lexcel 6 standard – Damon is an independent Lexcel assessor amongst other things! His website at www.lawrisk.co.uk explains what he offers.
