The PPR Managing Director announced today that the first batch of Paralegal Practising Certificates will be sent out to successful applicants this week.
‘This is a proud day for all Paralegals who finally have the professional status that they deserve. Professionalism is gained through the acquisition of knowledge and skills via qualifications, training and experience, with adequate regulation to ensure professional and ethical standards are maintained.
Paralegal Practising Certificates enable suitably qualified and experienced Paralegals to offer legal services to the public whilst the PPR’s voluntary regulatory scheme provides protection to the consumer should things go wrong.’
If you are a Tier 2 or above registered Paralegal under the PPR then you can apply for a PPC and benefit from having the ability to practice direct to consumers.
If you would like to apply for a PPC, please visit the PPR website www.ppr.org.uk/paralegals/practising-certificates/ or telephone 0845 862 7000 for more details.
