Virtual On-Line Course:

These courses are run using the Zoom platform as an interactive course just as our live courses would be. We have had great feedback over the last year from delegates on these courses.

Overview:
Now in it's 15th year, this event is a must for professionals concerned about environmental legal compliance and covers all the key changes over the last 12 months. The one-day programme addresses the key elements of recent and emerging legislation so that you can stay ahead in protecting your organisation.

The seminar provides invaluable updates in environmental law and policy for organisations, and a base from which they can ensure legal compliance. An essential day for those who are either directly involved in delivering an organisation’s environmental responsibilities, or those who simply have an interest in keeping up to date with environmental law and policy.

Who Should Attend?
All those with responsibility for ensuring environmental legal compliance within their business and those who are seeking to improve their understanding of current or emerging environmental law and best practice. Management System Representatives and any Manager responsible for Safety or Environment will find this to be an invaluable one-day update.

On completion of the course, attendees will:
• Be up to date with the key changes made in legislation over the last 12 months, including the effects of Brexit on UK environmental legislation;
• Have an understanding of the drive towards Net Zero Carbon and the routes that their organisation can take towards that goal;
• Have a view of upcoming changes in the regulatory landscape.

Please note; some amendments may be made in advance of the course, to ensure that the agenda is as current and forward-looking as possible.

**Please see below for last years programme to give an overview of the format and type of content, the programme for 2022 will be released soon**
