If you are currently preparing for Part two of the OSPRE examination you will know how difficult it can be to research the information you require.

Remember you need to be competent in both your knowledge of the law and policy and procedure. One of the reasons why candidates fail is because they do not have a sound working and practical knowledge of law and policy.

Research by using some of the links,then adopt a best practice approach and formulate strategies for dealing with the subject matter,should it becme likely examination material.One example might be that you are in a Race relations type station,therefore you would need a working knowledge of the law relating to Race relations act and Equal Opportunities.

Leading from this may be the ability to show an understanding of the Grievance procedure,Complaints procedure and to show you understand the ethos of working in Partnership/sponsorship with other organisations.
