Family lawyers organisation Resolution has launched a jumbo training package to ease its members through lockdown

More than 160 hours of online training in professional development, worth about £5,000 per person, will be made available to members free of charge until at least the end of 2020, under Resolution’s ‘Recover stronger, together’ campaign.

It covers topics ranging from digital working to negotiation skills.

Resolution’s chair, Juliet Harvey, said: ‘We know from our own experience how challenging members have found the global pandemic.

‘Not only has lockdown placed additional burdens on our firms and our colleagues, it has also seen the day-to-day work of family justice professionals change almost beyond recognition. Firms cannot afford to abandon professional development, and yet many are struggling financially.’
