FLA RESIDENTIAL CONFERENCE
ON WORKING WITH CHILDREN
NEW DATES: 27th – 28th FEBRUARY 2009
The Family Law Association invites you to attend an excellent training programme designed for family lawyers and others whose work involves them in issues surrounding children in separated families. We include curators ad litem, solicitors who prepare Bar Reports, those family lawyers who represent children and those who wish to learn more. A full and interesting programme is planned with plenty of interactive time in work shop forum to enable discussion and information exchange. A scenario of a family in separation will be used as part of the theme of the seminar to highlight the difficulties we all face in advising clients on how to deal with children, the impact on the children themselves and how to assist them. Details of the ‘family’ and more information on the workshops will be sent out with your confirmation of booking. This is a residential seminar held in the Stirling Highland Hotel Stirling providing easy access from all parts of the country.
