Early lessons from changes to legal advice provision and funding: the local authority experience
The LGA, in partnership with the IDeA, has commissioned Tribal Consulting to conduct research exploring the implications for local government of recent changes in the way the Legal Services Commission (LSC) funds legal advice, through Community Legal Advice Centres (CLACs) and Community Legal Advice Networks (CLANs). This research explores the options available to local authorities who wish to make changes to the current provision of advice in their area and the impact they have on advice providers; key lessons for local authorities that can be drawn from experiences of developing CLAC/Ns; and wider implications, risks and dilemmas for local authorities moving to commission other services where voluntary sector providers currently play a prominent role.
