Description for 2024/25

The CAB mini- Placement It is a community legal education module enabling you to gain work experience in an advice-based legal environment whilst providing assistance to the most vulnerable members of society. The module will enable you to become more socially aware, whilst at the same time developing valuable employability skills. The School of Law is delighted to be working in collaboration with our partners at the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) in Stoke-on-Trent in offering this innovative, active learning module.

Aims
The purpose of the module is several fold:
To enable students to develop a wide variety of skills, both academic and personal, and to deploy these to help the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and, in particular, the public it serves;
To encourage recognition and development of skills and capabilities valued in the work place;
To enable students to further develop their legal, placement-based training and to enhance their capacity for critical self-reflection;
To enhance graduate employability.
