Introduction to the Legal System
This is an entry-level course aimed at giving participants a broad understanding of the Irish legal system and how to interact with it. Practical tips and useful referral options are emphasised, legal terms are clearly explained and common misconceptions and pitfalls for the layman are laid to rest.
Children and the Law
Covering many legal issues relating to children and minors, inside or outside of the family context, this course synopsises key aspects of Family, Employment, Consumer and Inheritance law relating to children. The focus is on protection of children and their practical, legal and emotional support. No previous legal knowledge is required.
Child Abuse
This course is aimed at helping participants to recognise what constitutes physical, sexual or emotional abuse or neglect of children and how to deal with possible disclosure. Participants are guided through the likely legal and health authority procedures in dealing with suspected abuse. The emphasis throughout is on dispelling some of the myths surrounding the area, and on getting practical help for all those involved.
Freedom of Information / Data Protection
Any individual, company or organisation which collects, holds or processes data needs to be familiar with the Freedom of Information and Data Protection Acts. This course covers the legal rights and obligations under both Acts, as well as decisions in recent Court cases.
Neighbourhood Nuisance
A wide range of legal and practical solutions to neighbourhood nuisances are covered in this course. You will be told where to go for help in dealing with neighbourhood problems and how to build up your case. Participants do not need any legal knowledge and the emphasis is on practical problem-solving.
