In light of recent developments in the UK's devolution landscape, this brand-new course offers an essential guide for local government lawyers to understand and navigate the ever-changing frameworks surrounding devolution matters. With the government's push towards decentralising power, as highlighted by the recent English Devolution White Paper, and the proposed English Devolution Bill, it's crucial for local government to stay informed and up to date about these changes.

This course will explore the foundations of devolution, its legislative structures, and its impact on local governance, whilst case studies will provide practical insights into devolution in action.

Key Topics Covered: 

  • The Foundations of Devolution

  • Legislation and Powers

  • Practical Implications

  • Case Studies

  • Emerging Trends

This course is designed for lawyers working in or with local government who wish to expand their knowledge of devolution matters.
