What will I learn?

This training material contains a wealth of case law, guidance and analysis on the legislation which is so often absent from standard texts. It has now been amended to include check lists to ensure that evidence is gathered in a systematic way leaving nothing to chance and that the final case file is in good order for prosecution. Recent additions have been implemented to add a more practical slant to the course.
