Abstract

Intends to give training and development specialists (and those working in education) some understanding of the legal issues involved in their own profession. Provides an outline of key legislation and legal terminology (both British and international), together with a consideration of the legal issues involved in training and development materials, psychological testing, computers and learning technologies. Training and development positions are changing and a knowledge of new learning technologies and of the legal issues surrounding them is becoming increasingly important. Provides details also of organizations which can provide further practical advice and information. You will not become a legal expert by reading this article, but it will hopefully enable you to ask appropriate questions and take the necessary steps to protect yourself and your organization.
