SUMMARY:The Relief Duty
DESCRIPTION:The relief duty was introduced to local authorities’ homelessness duties in 2017 by the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.  It is a duty to take reasonable steps to help secure that suitable accommodation becomes available for an applicant’s occupation for at least six months.  The duty applies in respect of all persons who are homeless and eligible for assistance. \nIn this seminar Millie and Michael will look at when the duty arises\, how authorities can bring it to an end\, its interaction with other homelessness provisions\, and the latest developments in the case law. \nMembers – Free \nNon-Members – £20.00 (once registered you will be sent an invoice) \nREGISTER YOUR PLACE HERE

SUMMARY:Housing Mediation Protocol
DESCRIPTION:SHLA Midlands Region are pleased to invite you to join them for an in-person event on Housing Mediation Protocol. \nWe are pleased to invite you to our upcoming event on the 19th of November\, which will be hosted at the offices of Anthony Collins in Birmingham. This event will feature Tom Russell\, Mediator at St Ives Chambers\, as the keynote speaker. \nTom Russell\, has 30 years of experience in litigation\, having worked as a solicitor from 1995 to 2004\, and as a self-employed barrister since then. Since 2007\, he has also been practising as a mediator and has led over 150 mediation sessions. At this stage of his career\, Tom is focusing more on mediation\, which he considers to be the optimal form of dispute resolution. \nThe event will focus on the Housing Mediation Protocol\, a framework created by Tom Russell\, working in partnership with solicitors\, to facilitate the negotiated resolution of housing-related disputes. This voluntary protocol aims to help clients resolve issues in housing cases such as disrepair complaints\, rent arrears\, anti-social behaviour\, and more\, while avoiding the costs and uncertainties of litigation. \nTom will guide us through the various stages of the protocol\, including the opportunity for early fixed-price mediation\, the chance to engage in ongoing mediations with the same mediator\, and how it can help resolve disputes efficiently and amicably. \nWe encourage all members to attend this insightful session\, which will be followed by networking drinks and food\, providing a great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals. \nJoin us for this in-person event including networking and refreshments\, kindly hosted by Anthony Collins\, 134 Edmund Street\, Birmingham B3 2ES. \nMembers – £5.00 \nNon-Members – £15.00 \nIf you would prefer to be invoiced\, please email info@shla.org.uk. \nPlease note – tickets for this event are transferable but not refundable if cancellation is within 3 days of the event. \n\n\n\n\nHousing Mediation Protocol\nHousing Mediation Protocol\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYour details\n\n\n\n    Full name\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Organisation\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Position\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Email\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Dietaries/allergies\n        *\n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    SHLA Member\n        *\n    \n    					\n			 Yes\n					\n			 No\n					\n			 No\, please send details of membershipNo\, please send details of membership\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nSelect tickets\n\n\n\n    SHLA Member Tickets (£5.00)\n        \n    \n    \n    Select number of tickets required\n    \n\n\n	Member sub total\n		\n	\n	£\n	\n	\n\n\n    Non- Member Tickets (£15.00)\n        \n    \n    \n    Select number of tickets required\n    \n\n\n	Non member sub total\n		\n	\n	£\n	\n	\n\n\n\nAdditional Ticket details\n\n\n\n    Full name\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Organisation\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Position\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Email\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Dietaries/allergies\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    SHLA Member\n        \n    \n    					\n			 Yes\n					\n			 No\n					\n			 No\, please send details of membershipNo\, please send details of membership\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nPayment\n\n\n\n	Total due\n		\n	\n	 £\n	\n	\n\n\n	Card details\n		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n	\n\n\n		\n		\n	\n\nSubmit\n\nStart Over\n\n\n	\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.			\n			\n		\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
