Open Training
We ran a series of training days for individuals from July to September 2009. These proved to be very succesful and some of them were overbooked. To meet the demand for our training we are running Modular training days for individuals again from January to October 2010. The training will cover legal issues such as Child Protection, Children's Rights and Parental Rights and Responsibilities, Children's Hearings, Education and Additional Support Needs Basics and the Sexual Offences Bill. If you would like to be provided with further information please contact enquiries@sclc.org.uk

Record Call Levels
Our free legal advice line has been busier than ever this year, in 2008 we received 2,500 calls, an increase on the previous year's call levels. We estimate that this will increase again in 2009 to approximately 3,000 contacts for our services. This demonstrates the ever-increasing demand for our service, and shows the growing interest in children’s rights and the law. Our expertise and impartial advice on all aspects of Scottish child law are much-valued by children, young people, parents, carers and professionals including teachers, social workers and health professionals. The advice line is now open Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4pm. You can call us on 0131 667 6333, and under 18s call free on 0800 328 8970 or use our free text service text 'SCLC' and your query to 80800.
