I have spent much of this week preparing and then launching a new online course we are running from next Wednesday.
It is based on the film footage of housing barrister Sam Madge Wyld’s workshop on 1 October and covers all the legal changes that come in on that day.
Sam also looks at the right to rent rules (due to be rolled out to the rest of England on 1 February 2016) and the other new legislation on its way.
Its a good course, with notes, links and other material and you can earn 4 hours CPD.
You can find out all about it (and watch some video clips from the course) here. Bookings close at 10.30 pm on Tuesday 3 November.
