BPP Law School in Manchester is currently recruiting advisers to help with this year's ‘Access to Practice' mentoring scheme. Attached is an Information Sheet outlining how the scheme works and setting out the aims of the scheme and benefits to you and your firm.

In brief, the idea of the scheme is to match LPC and GDL students to individual volunteers (‘Practice Advisers') within the legal profession, who will provide careers advice and support to the students. It will be run by BPP's Careers Service.

If you are interested in becoming a Practice Adviser and have the backing of your line manager or HR department please complete the on-line Practice Adviser details by Friday 30th October 2009:
