SRA to hold four roadshows as part of Training for Tomorrow 2014 programme
updated on 22 January 2014
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) will hold four roadshows as part of its Training for Tomorrow 2014 programme, starting at the end of January.
The other roadshows will be held in Birmingham, Sheffield, and Manchester, and will allow the legal profession's stakeholders discuss the SRA's proposals for simplifying the regulation of its Education and Training Framework.
Julie Brannan, the SRA’s director for education and training, said: "The aim of this consultation is to seek views on our proposals, which involve stating our training and education regulations in plain and clear terms, removing unnecessary and artificial requirements and processes, but retaining what is essential to secure high standards. The roadshows will provide an opportunity also to discus the wider aims of the Training for Tomorrow programme - to develop a definition of what a competent solicitor looks like, how we ensure solicitors' competence at the point of qualification and on an ongoing basis, and how and where the responsibility for ensuring ongoing competence of solicitors best fits within the SRA's regulatory framework."
"We are keen to engage stakeholders every step of the way in delivering this review - the first of its kind in over 40 years - and are encouraging feedback through our dedicated microsite, www.sra.org.uk/t4t."
