This year’s Learning at Work Week was enjoyed by many more people across the ASA partnership organisations, with really positive feedback:

“I enjoyed LAW Week and look forward to 2020. I believe it helps colleagues to interact with each other more, and brings Citizens Advice together as a team”

Learning at Work Week for 2020 is during 18 to 24 May and the theme is ‘Learning Journeys’ – here’s to a great LAW Week in 2020!
