Description
A comprehensive legal and procedural training programme for local authority staff and enforcement professionals dealing with derelict sites and all possible legal proceedings involved in returning these sites to the national housing stock.
What you will learn
This specialised programme provides participants with a clear, practical, and legally robust understanding of the Derelict Sites Act 1990 and the operational processes required to address dereliction effectively. Through two carefully structured modules—Law, Evidence & Procedure and Courtroom & Oral Hearing Skills—attendees gain both the legal knowledge and the practical competencies needed to manage derelict sites from initial identification through to enforcement and oral hearings.
The course blends legislative explanation, evidence based practice, report writing, and real world procedural guidance, ensuring participants leave confident in their ability to carry out their statutory functions and present their work professionally when challenged.
