The annual Hugh James Housing Law
Conference took place on Thursday 17 November at the Vale
Resort Hotel and, as always, was very well attended with almost 100
delegates poised ready to take in the latest up to date legal
developments from the industry. The conference welcomed a
range of attendees from Solicitors and Housing Officers through to
Heads of Housing and Chief Executives.
The conference welcomed presentations
from an array of experienced industry representatives
including Hugh James's very own Neil Morgan, Partner and
Head of Social Housing, Jamie Saunders, Senior Associate and Head of
Anti-Social Behaviour Unit and Deborah Carroll, Legal, Business and
HR Trainer.
The conference was also attended by
two external speakers:
Anne Jones, Assistant Information
Commissioner for Wales
Janine Green, Anti-Social Behaviour
Manager, Sandwell Council
Anne delved into the topic of data
protection, providing top tips on how to comply with the Data
Protection Act and Janine used her extensive experience to advise
delegates on supporting vicitims of anti-social behaviour.
Topics covered by Hugh James included debt relief orders and
bankruptcy, case law updates, possession, proportionality and the
Equality Act. Deborah Carroll also demonstrated the Hugh James
online data protection training tool. The tool sets out
standards of expected behaviour throughout any organisation, on
information use and abuse. Deborah showed how
our the tool can be adapted to meet individual company
requirements and enables employees to learn about data protection
and thus how to prevent breaching data protection laws.
