Support Framework for Independent Advice and Debt Services - consultation response

The Department for Communities recently carried out a consultation on draft proposals to support the delivery of independent advice and debt services in Northern Ireland. The results of the consultation have been analysed and collated in this document and will inform the development of a final Northern Ireland Support Framework for Independent Advice and Debt Services, subject to Ministerial agreement. It is anticipated this work will be completed during 2026/27 and will include a implementation plan which will be taken forward on a phased basis.
