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).

Community Outreach

How it works

We deliver a range of free and interactive workshops to clients around the UK. 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.

Our workshops cover a wide 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 students (usually during term time), under the supervision of staff working in BPP’s Social Impact team.
