Introduction The questions below illustrate items for a specific competency set and aim to draw out relevant behavioural evidence to gauge competency level. They are purposefully more precise than the usual open, behavioural questions such as, ‘Tell me about a time when you...’ or ‘Can you provide an example...?’ This is intentional. Their role is to zero in on information tied to the competency definition and the management of outcomes, while still acting as cues to investigate behavioural evidence. Without this level of targeting, there is a chance the interviewer will fail to gather information that is sufficiently specific to enable a fair judgement. Strategy delivery General Describe a recent strategic planning exercise you took part in. What was your role? Outline the specifics. And what about earlier planning efforts? OR How have you reviewed your business, current and emerging trends, and set long-term objectives? Have you created and put into practice a vision and a set of values for your business?...

Practice Note This Practice Note sets out guidance on the court’s authority to order periodical payments and/or lump sums covering school fees and other educational or training outgoings. It outlines the steps to be taken in matters involving parents who are or have been married or in a civil partnership, as well as in situations where the parents have never been married or in a civil partnership, and prescribes the process to follow. Significant limits apply to the court’s ability to make periodical payment orders for a child where the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) has, or would have, competence to carry out a maintenance calculation. Even so, the court still has power to direct that a parent, or any person who has treated the relevant child as a child of the family, must pay or contribute towards the expense of a child receiving instruction at an educational institution, or undertaking training for a trade, profession, or vocation (whether or not in paid work). Most frequently, such directions concern the...

STOP PRESS : Significant reforms to the UK prospectus regime came into force on 19 January 2026 Major changes to the UK regime for public offers and admissions to trading took effect on 19 January 2026.
