In-house welfare benefits courses

About our tutors

The welfare benefits tutors all work for our welfare benefits team. Several have been giving advice on benefits for 20 years and each has considerable experience representing at appeal and commissioner levels.

Team members offer second-tier support to advisers on complex benefit areas and have particular expertise in those topics included in our training programme. They write and edit articles for ‘Adviser’ magazine and one member is the magazine’s editor, also chairing the National Association of Welfare Rights Advisers. Others contribute to the Disability Rights Handbook, with one sitting on the DWP Standards Committee Consultative Group.
