Free Representation Unit (FRU)’s Post

#WOTW James Miller and many FRU volunteers are offered pupillage and Jamie's client rightly sings his praises for securing a £16k judgment! This is exactly what we're here for, but don't take for granted that we'll always be here. It costs £500k every year just to stand still and we get no public funding.

New changes to fixed term contract rules for NFPs have taken effect. Employers will have more flexibility to employ fixed term employees on government (and philanthropic) funded projects. Check out the details in this short article.

Here’s a timely piece from my great colleagues Meredith Kennedy and Lindy Richardson, looking at important developments for not-for-profits in the fixed/maximum term contract space. Now, if only the problematic wording in the exemption provision relating to jobs funded by government-to-government funding could also be fixed!

Forever proud of the effort and enthusiasm of my colleagues and our boys! As I see another example of our Newcastle School For Boys Junior boys thriving in their contributions to our community, I'm reminded that my roles in school of Partnerships Lead and Assistant Head for Character Development are inextricably linked. In today’s interconnected world, the value of partnerships between independent schools and local communities cannot be overstated. These collaborations create a symbiotic relationship that benefits students, schools, and the community at large. 🤝 Why are these partnerships so essential? 1. Shared Resources and Opportunities: By working together, schools and community organizations can pool their resources, providing students with enhanced learning experiences, mentorship opportunities, and real-world applications of their studies. 2. Character Development: Engaging with the community helps cultivate vital character traits such as integrity, leadership, and empathy. When students participate in community service, they learn the importance of giving back, leading with purpose, and understanding diverse perspectives. 3. Stronger Connections: Partnerships foster a sense of belonging and community pride. Students become more engaged citizens, understanding that their actions can have a positive impact on those around them. 4. Future Leaders: As we nurture these traits, we prepare our students to become the compassionate and capable leaders of tomorrow, equipped to tackle the challenges of an ever-changing world. Let's champion the vital role that partnerships play in shaping our future. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where students thrive and communities flourish. 💬 What are your thoughts on school-community partnerships? How have you seen them benefit your local area? I'd love people to share their experiences too! #Education #CommunityEngagement #Leadership #Integrity #Empathy #Partnerships #IndependentSchools #powerofpartnerships
