Community Legal Education

Community Legal Education (CLE) is a key part of Kingsford Legal Centre’s service delivery program.  It is informed by our advice and casework clinics as well as our community development work.  KLC runs an extensive program both proactive and reactive to community requests. Including:-

  • Legal information sessions delivered to local community groups – for example at the Lexo Hub
  • Monthly, free, plain English law sessions for community workers
  • Innovative and interactive sessions to local schools on relevant and topical issues such as #MeToo/sexual harassment and Aboriginal constitutional recognition
  • Rights at work factsheets for women in three community languages and English

If you would like us to develop and deliver a community legal education session for your clients, community or staff click here.
