Policy Responses

The Law Centres Federation responds to consultation papers produced by Government Departments on changes to the way legal advice and representation services are supplied and funded.

The LCF focuses on how the proposals affect the ‘not-for-profit’ legal and advice sector and in particular on their impact on Law Centres and their clients. 

The Law Centres Federation is a full member of the Advice Services Alliance which is the umbrella body for independent advice services in the UK. Members are national networks of not-for-profit organisations providing advice and help on the law. Members include AdviceUK, Citizens’ Advice, and Shelter.  ASA provides a forum for members to discuss policy work, including responses to government initiatives relating to legal and advice services.

Policy Responses can be found on the LCF website, under ‘Policy and Publications’.  The LCF is a member of the Access to Justice Alliance which campaigns on legal aid issues. Visit: Access to Justice Alliance for more information.
