Public Authority Training Consortium

We are excited to notify you of a change in how we approach our external training programme for our public authority contacts.

Since 2007 we have provided regular training through the Local Authority Training Consortium (LATC), holding sessions throughout the year taking place both online and face to face and delivered by lawyers from our dedicated Public Sector practice with occasional appearances from guest speakers. Recently it has been noted that a number of the sessions would also be relevant to our non-Local Authority public sector clients, we therefore thought it would be sensible to widen our reach so that more individuals have the benefit of this training.

The newly named Public Authority Training Consortium (PATC) will provide a platform for in-house legal teams and other officers who work in the public authority across Wales and England to receive the latest training on legal topics of interest, as well as having the opportunity to connect with their peers.

A PATC Steering Group of public authority contacts contribute ideas to help make sure the topics covered by the training add the most value and upskilling opportunities for public authority colleagues. Previous sessions (under the LATC) have covered a wide variety of subjects, including child protection, employment, planning, commercial litigation, construction, charity law, renewable energy and more.
