Support Framework for Independent Advice and Debt Services - Rural Needs Impact Assessment

The Refreshed Support Framework for Independent Advice and Debt Services is one of three strands of work set out to support the review of the Community and Voluntary Sector. The aim of the policy is to support independent advice and debt service-providers to meet the needs on the ground, striking the right balance between supporting frontline community delivery and regional services, ensuring people have equity of access to services, and supports collaboration and ‘joining up’ of services to minimise duplication, maximise resources and improve outcomes for clients.
