1. Pupils’ responsibilities for registering pupillage
This section is of special interest to pupils, who are responsible for registering their pupillage with us on the relevant forms.
Important guidance for pupils
You must register your pupillage with us on the appropriate registration form before pupillage commences. We will only approve an application for retrospective registration of pupillage where there are good reasons for failure to register on time. Otherwise, periods of pupillage undertaken prior to registration will not be recognised.
Registration forms should be submitted at least two weeks prior to commencement of pupillage, if possible. You must provide the name of your designated pupil supervisor(s) and the commencement date of your pupillage; it is therefore advisable that such arrangements are made in advance. Registration will be confirmed by us, via email.
