In the first three years of practice, newly qualified practitioners are required to complete 45 hours of continuing professional development (CPD), including at least nine hours of Advocacy Training and three hours of Ethics (the “New Practitioners’ Programme”).
On completion of Pupillage, practitioners will be sent a CPD Information Pack along with their Full Qualification Certificate. This details further information about the New Practitioners’ Programme and includes a copy of the CPD record card. A record will be kept of attendance at Advocacy Training and Ethics courses and practitioners are required to keep their own record of attendance at other accredited courses as well as signing the registration document at these events.
New Practitioners are required to attend courses accredited by the Bar Standards Board. Information about accredited courses can be found at www.barstandardsboard.org.uk under Continuing Professional Development.
If you are in your first three years of practice and have not received details about the New Practitioners Programme, please contact Rachel Reeves at: rreeves@barstandardsboard.org.uk
