Legal Aid Practitioners Group

The Management & Leadership Programme (MLP) is a unique, sector-specific learning journey for managers and emerging leaders working in law centres, CABx, and other advice charities. It’s designed to help the people who hold the sector together - those managing teams, projects and organisations - to develop the skills, confidence and perspective they need to lead with purpose. This isn’t corporate management training. It’s practical, relevant, and rooted in the realities of social justice work, designed and delivered by people who understand the pressures, the passion, and the complexity of leading in values-driven organisations. We offer 24 places on each Programme, and it has been designed for managers from not for profit advice organisations, such as Law Centres, CABx, advice charities, and community-based organisations developing advice services across the UK. The Programme is open to middle managers leading teams, projects or departments and to senior leaders - including CEOs and Heads of Service, looking to deepen their strategic leadership practice.
