TLT to provide councillor training sessions for the Institute of Licensing

TLT will be leading training sessions for the Institute of Licensing for new councillors the week of the 12 to 16 June 2017. Training sessions will be aimed at councillors. Following the local elections in May, the timing could not be more propitious, with new councillors stepping up to the challenge of sitting on a quasi-judicial panel determining licensing matters.

The training sessions also follow hot on the heels of the House of Lords report on licensing and the concern they raised in relation to the inconsistency of training for councillors affecting the quality of decisions in certain councils.
