Welcome to the new rightsnet policy discussion forum

Together with a policy news and resources area – available from the navigation bar at the top of every page of the site – the new policy discussion forum is dedicated to policy issues that affect the provision of advice and legal services.

Funded by the City Parochial Foundation, the new policy area will include the latest policy and funding news, summaries of key research, details of government consultations, evaluation reports and statistics …

… and this discussion forum, where advisers and policy workers across the country can share their ideas, experience, expertise and best practice.

The new policy area is designed to assist organisations in making the case for independent advice provision to policy makers and funders; to help to raise the profile of advice on strategic initiatives, for example in relation to regeneration and health; to highlight strategies affecting the provision of advice; and to improve awareness of advice policy issues amongst government, funders and the wider voluntary sector.

If you have any policy related information that you think would be of interest to other advice and policy workers around the country, contact me @ ptreloar@lasa.org.uk
