Housing & Social Welfare

The Housing & Social Welfare Team provide an annual seminar programme. Full details of this years programme can be found on the seminars and training section of this website (see below for details). Seminars are held on weekdays between 6pm and 8pm in our dedicated Conference Hall at Nº 54 Doughty Street, London WC1N 2LS (click here for map) and are accredited to provide 2 CPD hours. They are provided to our professional colleagues for the nominal charge of £20 (incl. VAT) per delegate as part of our commitment to professional development and excellence. Invitations for each individual seminar are sent by email to our professional colleagues two weeks before the seminar is presented and places are allocated to the first three colleagues from each firm which responds. If you wish to be added to our email list to receive invitations please provide your details using this link. The seminars are often oversubscribed and so prompt registration by email is advised. Places are reserved upon receipt of your registration and payment of the nominal charge. The charge was introduced to avoid colleagues registering but not attending which in past years left others who wished to attend without a place and empty seats on the day. In the event that you register but cancel at least 48 hours prior to the seminar date your fee will be reimbursed in full.

If you have any question relating to the email invitation list or administration of reservations please contact Chris Atkinson (email). If you have any questions about the seminar programme please contact Stephen Reeder (email). The team are always pleased to consider requests for off-site, inhouse or other dedicated seminars for groups of prefessional colleagues and such requests should be directed to Stephen Reeder using the earlier link.
