LawWorks are increasingly supplementing our training programme by hosting Webinar sessions with Lexis Nexis.
Our most recent Webinar facilitated by CEO Martin Barnes covered homelessness and housing allocations. Angus King, Solicitor at Lambeth Law Centre and Ian Peacock of Arden Chambers, the webinar dealt with the legal issues to address when a person applies to the local authority to be housed and the criteria set out in local allocations policies, including housing options and prevention of homelessness duties, and the overall policy context. The webinar looked at:
- how homelessness applications differ from housing applications;
- the criteria that needs to be satisfied before the local authority decides whether it has the duty to house the homeless person and their family and;
- review and appeal rights
You can access the video via the Lexis Auditorium.
