HJP tutorial: referrals in HJP—swings and roundabouts

Referral challenges are common in HJP—whether it’s recognising legal need, interpreting referral numbers, communicating with partners or managing processes that don’t always work smoothly. These issues often reflect broader system pressures, client needs or partnership dynamics.

This tutorial will support building capability in partnering to connect systems and support access to legal help. Through shared examples and group discussion, we will explore practical ways to strengthen collaboration around referral activities.

Join us to:

• reflect on your current referral strengths and challenges in HJP

• build confidence in effective partnership approaches, including developing trust and clarity

• connect with HJP peers to hear diverse perspectives.
