Emergencies on Trial

Description
Britain is now a litigious society and there is an increasing risk that any manager, employee or technical expert will be called to account for their actions and their organisations response, or to give their advice, to a public enquiry or a court case for damages. Often the poor presentation of witnesses under cross-examination can let the witness and their organisation down.
Through interactive training an understanding of the processes occurring in such an inquiry can be developed to prepare and present a fair and good account of any situation. This training has been most popular in the past. It is amusing, entertaining and may ultimately save considerable embarrassment.
Bond Solon of London, the leaders in Witness Training and the only company in the UK to be accredited by the Law Society for training witnesses will conduct this interactive Workshop.
