Community Outreach

Our award-winning public legal education project, Streetlaw, helps to empower individuals by demystifying areas of law that are relevant to their lives, through their participation in interactive workshops. We also offer workshops that aim to widen access to the legal profession through the provision of information about different routes into legal practice (including apprenticeships) and skills training (e.g. evidence analysis; networking).

 

How it works

Streetlaw workshops: We deliver a range of free and interactive workshops to clients around the UK in areas such as housing, employment, crime, family, IP and consumer law. We can arrange face-to-face delivery in and around our law schools based in Birmingham, Leeds, London and Manchester. We can also arrange online workshops for clients based elsewhere and/or where online delivery otherwise suits client needs.  A demonstration of how our online workshops run can be viewed below.

Our workshops cover a range of topics relevant to the lives of our audiences which include schoolchildren, women’s support groups, service users of charities and prison leavers. We are open to working with new audiences if our topics are of interest to you.  

We encourage our audience members to participate and think critically through activities such as role plays, group discussion and quizzes. The format allows for audience members to develop their own opinions in a respectful environment.

The sessions are delivered by trained BPP University student volunteers (usually during term time), under the supervision of staff working in BPP’s Social Impact team.

Please review the relevant brochure for an overview of the topics we offer. If you are interested in booking a workshop please contact us at: streetlawteam@bpp.com

BPP Law Experience Days: this is a half day event designed to introduce Year 12 and Year 13 students to the world of law. The event encompasses various activities that increase students knowledge about the routes into legal practice and develops skills relevant to the legal field. The BPP Law Experience Day involves three activities: Routes into Legal Practice talk, Murder Mystery workshop and Speed Networking. Volunteers from law firms may also join the event to speak with the students about their career journeys and offer advice to students interested in a legal career.

If the BPP Law Experience Day is something that could be beneficial to your students or you would like some more information, please contact the Streetlaw team at: streetlawteam@bpp.com

Apprenticeship Influencer talks: BPP run an Apprenticeship Influencer scheme which involves apprentices from various industries (e.g. law; technology; marketing; accountancy and actuarial; nursing; finance) volunteering their time to share their personal journeys with young people, to guide and motivate them about the benefits of apprenticeships. All of our volunteer apprentices are currently completing the study element of their apprenticeships at BPP.

If you would like an Apprenticeship Influencer from BPP to attend a careers day or deliver a talk at your school to inform your students about apprenticeships as a viable career path, please contact: socialimpact@bpp.com
