All BSA events, including member-only training workshops, are visible in the members' area via the Events tab above.

Use the search function, with its categories, to find the policy brief you need. Material on savings and banking, mortgages and housing, financial crime , people (HR) , technology / innovation,  and conduct matters is mostly relevant to credit unions. Material on prudential regulation  is mostly relevant only to building societies. Briefs should be tagged by the categories to ensure you get the updates you need.
