- Do you work in housing?
- Do you work on the front line?
- Do you need answers to legal points NOW but don't have time to look them up?
Then the Front Liner is for you!
What is the Front Liner?
It is a new newsletter, delivered to YOU electronically, in your emailbox, once a month
Who writes it?
Its written by us:
![]() |
Ben Reeve-Lewis - TRO extraordinaire and housing law trainer, and | ![]() | Tessa Shepperson - solicitor, author and editor of the Landlord Law membership site |
What will it contain?:
Useful legal information to make your job that bit easier, such as:
- Articles on things YOU need to know
- Proper answers to legal questions in language you can understand (without a lot of lawyers waffle)
- 'Argument settlers', to clarify those office debates about whether a tenant can do X or Y
- News and views from both housing ministers and front line workers
- Useful freebies
- Special offers and discounts on courses and products
- Reviews and recommendations on the various publications, events and courses out there that are of direct use to the front line housing worker
- Answers to readers questions
Why will you want to read it?
Because:
- Its not a newsletter full of news on policy and strategy,
- it's not a newsletter with page after page of senior management jobs and
- it's not a case law update with endless text, full of legal jargon that makes you want to flush your head down the toilet.
Its packed full of stuff to help YOU
- in the interview room,
- on the phone,
- in court or
- dealing with that difficult client.
What do our readers say about it?:
"The frontliner has been a really helpful resource to me working on the front line in housing.
It provides valuable up to date news on current issues happening in the sector, in a simple straight to the point format and gives helpful tips on situations I deal with in my daily role"
Claire Studdart, Local Authority Senior Housing Officer
The Front Liner will be published monthly, on the first Tuesday of the month. Content will be mostly by us, Ben and Tessa, with a few guest authors thrown in for good measure.
And its all FREE!!
Why are we doing it? Well partly because we're mad of course. We both like writing and thought it would be a fun thing to do.
Also we will, from time to time, tell you about products and services we are developing and which you might like to buy (assuming of course that the budget cuts leave your department with any money).
But you don't have to buy anything if you don't want to, the Front Liner will remain free and hopefully fun.
So why not sign up? If you don't like it or think we're rubbish, you can always unsubscribe. But you won't want to - because the Front Liner will be the one drop of sanity in your working life and your friend in a mad mad world. Take it from us …

| AND, just because we're nice people, we're giving away Ben's report on the Mortgage Rescue Scheme, which explains how it all works. You'll be able to get it after you have signed up - we'll send you an email giving you a link to the download page - once we have you on our mailing list (sneaky eh?). |

SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??

"I recently signed up and I've already found a useful tip that has helped me to hopefully save a tenancy for a client.
Unlike alot of other articles I am sent, Frontliner was succinct and easy to understand so it's accessible for anyone in housing no matter what their knowledge or experience is"
Jan Collins, Housing Support Officer
