How Advice Line access works with YJLC Membership
- Each member organisation is allocated a set amount of Advice Line time per calendar year, based on their membership level.
- Every advice line enquiry is tracked, and the time spent responding is recorded.
- When your organisation is close to using up its time allowance, you will receive a warning notification. At that point, you will have the option to purchase an additional time bundle.
- Extra Advice Line time bundles can be bought for £200 for 2 hours.
The Bar Standards Board requires barristers working in the youth court and those who intend to do so in the next 12 months to register with the BSB and declare that they have the specialist skills, knowledge and attributes necessary to work effectively with vulnerable children and young people, which are set out by the BSB in the Youth Proceedings competences and guidance.
Solicitors are required to make an annual declaration to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) as to their continued competence. The SRA’s position is that those practising in the youth court have a responsibility to regularly reflect on the quality of their practice and undertake regular learning and development so their skills and knowledge remain up to date.
