The Scottish Solicitors Bar Association is hosting a CPD event free to its members.

On Wednesday 30 June a distinguished panel will discuss “Trauma Awareness in the Criminal Justice System”.

The panellists are:

  • Iain Smith (Keegan Smith, and Lawyer of the Year)
  • Tony Bone (Tony Bone Legal, and former VRU police officer)
  • Melissa Rutherford (defence and immigration lawyer, Rutherford Sheridan Glasgow)
  • Kirsty Giles (psychotherapist at VRU)
  • James Docherty (VRU mentor and project worker)

As a bonus, participants will also be able to view the Bafta award winning film ‘Warriors’, which offers a gritty insight into the impact of the care system on the young people coming into the criminal justice system.
