The Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) is considering dropping hours-based requirements for continuous professional development (CPD) and adopting an outcomes-focused approach.
Responses to its ‘CPD consultation paper on new principles’ should be submitted by 6 January 2023. The proposals include a mix of formally and informally assessed activity, some mandatory training for individuals with certain roles, and new requirements regarding the ongoing competence of all lawyers.
CLC chief executive Sheila Kumar said: ‘We believe our proposed changes will reduce risks for firms and enable then to demonstrate competence and professionalism to clients, lenders and PI insurers more effectively.’
