The Institute of Legal Practice and Development(ILPD) is conducting a one week’s training from April 18-22, 2016 on Public Service Ethics and Law of Torts specifically on negligence and malfeasance. This training brings together Legal Officers and Advisors from different Government Institutions. The training is being facilitated by Experts from The United Kingdom(UK) and will be officially closed on Friday 22^nd April 2016.

The focus of this training is on understanding the role of Legal Officers and Advisors, standards expected from all public servants, how Governments can be legally held to account, how the English civil law underpins professional standards, how management of risk is important, consequences of breach, criminal liabilities, and importance of good practice in procurement, amongst others.
