Whilst many of us are making the most of the summer, September is already looking busy, with a packed programme of training covering governance, planning, housing, highways and subsidy control.
Leading the programme is the Monitoring Officer Induction Programme, which begins on 14 September. Designed specifically for new and aspiring Monitoring Officers and Deputy Monitoring Officers, the programme provides a comprehensive blend of live and pre-recorded learning, giving delegates the practical knowledge, confidence and skills needed to succeed in one of local government's most demanding statutory roles. Covering everything from governance, finance and scrutiny through to political awareness, standards, resilience and working with Independent Persons, the programme offers a structured route into the role with expert speakers and practical learning throughout. Delegates also benefit from attendance at the LLG Governance Conference as part of the programme.
The feedback speaks for itself:
"I am due to step up from DMO to MO in May and I feel that the programme has prepared me for this step."
Alongside the MO Induction Programme, September offers a range of specialist training for local government lawyers across a number of practice areas.
The month begins with Access in Housing Cases on 3 September, providing an update on the legal framework surrounding access to residential properties and the practical issues faced by housing practitioners.
On 14 September, our Traffic Regulation Orders course explores the legal framework governing TROs, the procedures involved in making and varying orders, and the practical considerations for those advising highways authorities.
For those looking to strengthen their understanding of subsidy control, our Half-Day Subsidy Masterclass takes place on 15 September. Ideal for those newer to the subject or looking for a practical refresher, previous delegates said:
"It was centred to local government and for people who are new to subsidy."
"The speaker was extremely knowledgeable, but still made the information very accessible and easy to understand. The breakdown into the separate topics was really helpful, as were the practical applications at the end of each section."
"The speaker was fantastic and really knowledgeable. The course was fast paced and to the point."
Our annual Planning Conference returns on 18 September, bringing together expert speakers to explore the legal developments affecting planning law and practice. Last year's conference received fantastic feedback, with delegates commenting:
"The speakers were aware that online presentations can drag and so made their sessions engaging and succinct. Also having an idea of what time each topics were being presented meant that I could plan my day around those which were most relevant to me"
"Toby Fisher's thoughts on the Habitat Regs and the Philip Larkin poem was fantastic. Also Ben Standings thoughts on the Epping case and John Gregory's analysis of how grey belt is being interpreted by Inspectors."
"The speakers were clearly knowledgeable and able to answer questions. The slides were well written and each speaker had a different manner which kept it engaging all day."
Rounding off the month, Premises Closure Orders on 23 September examines the powers available to tackle serious anti-social behaviour and nuisance, providing practical guidance for practitioners working in licensing, housing and community safety.
Whether you're stepping into a new statutory role, looking to refresh your knowledge or keeping up to date with the latest legal developments, September offers something for every local government lawyer.
