It&#39;s not another piece of content full of advice and a great long list of stuff that you SHOULD be doing (but don&#39;t have time for). It is, in fact, the exact opposite.It&#39;s a chance for you to take a breath and re-connect with what matters to you as a parent. A moment to pause and notice what&#39;s currently working - and the bits that aren&#39;t. A space for YOU to decide what route you&#39;d like to take, which advice you&#39;d like to follow. AND, most important of all, a few precious minutes of support and kindness for you as you tough it through the most challenging role of your life.What will you gain?&nbsp; You&#39;d be surprised. For some it&#39;s about perspective and recognition, for others it&#39;s the support and just knowing that they&#39;re not alone. All we know is that moments like these matter and we&#39;d love for you to join us!This little workshop is currently FREE&nbsp;while we make sure that it&#39;s working the way that we&#39;d like. If you&#39;d like to come along but you can&#39;t make the dates/times please do get in touch and we can either arrange a session for a time that works better for you or get a recording over for you to try out.

Live, Love, Parent. A Guide To Smiling Through The Challenges And Enjoying Your Family Time.

No one ever said that being a parent was easy, but when on earth did being a parent get so blooming hard? &nbsp;From conflicting work and school/nursery schedules to the multitude of clubs, activities and socialising opportunities filling up your calendar. It&#39;s a lot. And that&#39;s before we talk about the basic stuff needed to run a household and get everyone where they need to be AND all the &#39;quality time&#39; and emotional stuff that all your social media guru&#39;s keep reminding you about. &nbsp;If you collapse into bed exhausted every night, no wonder! &nbsp;If your &#39;stuff&#39; is constantly at the back of the line, well, that&#39;s just how it is. Right?&nbsp;&nbsp;And then there are the holidays. The annual headache that never seems to improve. The mental gymnastics and juggling involved should surely be an Olympic sport. But, here we are, and yet again, you&#39;ve got too many weeks to cover and not enough annual leave to make it work. Simply making it through will be a triumph. When you do eventually get your time &#39;away&#39; you&#39;ll be too drained to really enjoy it before it&#39;s back to the merry-go-round to start it all again. But stop. What if there was a way to create space in the chaos? To breathe through the strain and find ease? To change very little but get a HUGE return?If you are thinking &#39;yes&#39; then this little webinar might be just what you need! &nbsp;We won&#39;t be telling you anything you don&#39;t already know, we won&#39;t be sharing schmaltzy fluff that sounds great but means nothing either. We&#39;ll be talking about practical down to earth stuff, in a down to earth and compassionate way.Even better? Our workshop is FREE at the moment so that we can make sure it&#39;s useful by getting your help. If you can make the time of the webinar come join us!&nbsp; If you&#39;re interested but can&#39;t make it along please let us know so that we can send you a recording.We hope to see you soon :)

In January 2024 alone, reports were published about the SRA taking enforcement action against 3 firms and 4 individuals for failure to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. The fines issued for these non-compliances total over &pound;570,000 plus costs. The absence of staff training, or requirement to complete additional training, was noted in a number of these cases.Many of the breaches resulting in enforcement action involved failures by the fee earners to conduct appropriate due diligence, adequately check the source of funds and/or wealth or recognise and report red flags. As highlighted by enforcement action being taken against individuals as well as firms, fee earners cannot hide behind their firm when AML failures occur and may be held personally accountable by the SRA for non-compliances with the MLR 2017.This course will cover the following to assist fee earners in the application of AML in their casework.<ul fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">How to comply with your obligations and stay compliant</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">Written CRA &amp; MRA</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">Client</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">Booms</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">Risks &ndash; what to consider?</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">PCPs &ndash; CDD &amp;EDD</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">POCA / TA</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">SOF and SOW</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">On going monitoring</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">Reporting to MLRO/MLCO</li><li style="font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 16px;">Tipping off</li></ul><h2 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Target Audience</h2>The online course is suitable for fee earners or legal practitioners that want to improve their AML knowledge.<h2 data-key="21" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Resources</h2>Comprehensive and up to date course notes will be provided to all delegates which may be useful for ongoing reference or cascade training.<p data-key="30" data-slate-fragment="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" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Please note a recording of the course will&nbsp;not&nbsp;be made available.<h2 data-key="35" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Speaker</h2><h3 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box;" id="isPasted" fr-original-style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="https://dglegal.co.uk/the-team/helen-torresi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" fr-original-style="" style="user-select: auto; font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: inherit;">Helen Torresi, Consultant, DG Legal</a></h3>Helen is a qualified solicitor with a diverse professional background spanning leadership roles in both the legal and tech/corporate sectors.
