In this video, Jenny McGrandle, Sarah Hornblower, Marie Walsh and Allan Roberts discuss their work with ELIPS (the Employment Tribunal Litigant in Person Support Scheme) which is co-ordinated by ELA and the ELA pro bono committee and now operates as an online clinic for legal volunteers to provide support to unrepresented litigants. ELIPS clinics run twice a month on a Thursday, and volunteers can sign up for a full day (six hours) or half day (three hours) session. All advice is delivered on the day via the online clinic and no preparatory or follow-up work is required. The ELIPS clinic has the support of the Judges at the Employment Tribunals and runs in collaboration with Advocate, LawWorks and the Free Representation Unit.
