Here is the 2012 programme for Legal Education in the Waitemata area. Thanks to all involved for a successful 2011 year. There were many challenges, and we are looking at ways in which to face those challenges with slick, professional standards in advertising, booking and delivery.

The session style of 2012 will differ from that of 2011, and we will focus on making our sessions more interactive. We will also be looking at charges for the public classes of the 2012 year and limiting numbers when appropriate.

We are taking bookings for the 2012 year, and if you want us to do some training for you then drop us an email here. Without further ado, the planned bookings for 2012:

CAB TRAINING

In 2011 we helped CAB’s right through Waitakere, Rodney and the North Shore with any training they needed. In 2012 we will be looking to do all that and more. We really value the support and partnership that our organisation shares with the Citizens Advice Bureau across our area. We will be taking it up a notch and really get more involved with this great organisation and its many fantastic volunteers.

RADIO WAITAKERE LAW

We started our radio show in November of this year and it has been going great. We will be continuing to provide this service across Auckland and streaming on the internet, coupled with increased promotion of our shows. Thank you to Planet FM 104.6 for its continuing support.

COMMUNITY GROUP TRAINING

In 2011, we were involved in training many community groups including Challenge Trust, Waipareira Trust, Western Refuge and the Waitemata DHB. This year we are going to give an increased focus to training community groups. Through community consultation, we are noting that all community groups out there seem to have a legal element to take care of, and it would be great to increase targeted services to helping in any way we can.

ADULT EDUCATION

We were involved in night school in Rutherford College in 2011 and it was a roaring success. We cannot thank enough the great service Andrea and the team provide over there. Buoyed by that success, we will be involved in Rutherford and Massey Colleges out west and Northcote College as well throughout the year. Keep an eye out for the latest Adult Education promotion materials.

TE ATATU EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAMME

We have had great success at the Te Atatu Peninsula Community House, fronted expertly by Jacqui Hanson. We are excited to continue this work, and will be unveiling very shortly the programme to make Te Atatu and the surrounds a beacon of legal empowerment.

LEGAL EDUCATION SERIES 2012

This is the main event of our Legal Education programme, and we had some great speakers last year and some tremendous support from Unitec and Onepoto Awhina. We want to maximise attendances and provide some real practical legal knowledge to the wider populace in the Waitemata area. Keep an eye on the details, places will be limited.
