Welfare Reform - Have Your Say

On 16 February 2011 the Welfare Reform Bill was introduced to Parliament.  The Bill legislates for the biggest changes to the welfare system for over 60 years, and alongside other changes to welfare benefits and housing provision will radically change the environment in which advice services operate.  Describing the impact of these major changes on clients, particularly clients living in poverty, is crucial to influencing decision and policy makers, and making the case for advice.

AdviceUK is working with Oxfam to develop the capacity of independent advice centres to gather evidence that can be used to influence decision and policy makers, and support you and your clients as you respond to current and future changes.

To do this, we need you to tell us about what you and your clients are encountering on the ground.  We are currently looking for case studies which either give the story of a particular individual (representing a common issue or concern encountered in your work), or which focus on the work of the advice service or organisation as a whole (again, focusing on a common issue or concern).

Guidelines for the case studies can be found below.  Please contact dal.warburton@adviceuk.org.uk or phone 07840147782 if you have any problems or questions.
