School of Law and Social JusticeSchool of Law and Social JusticeA Future Joined Up: The Next Chapter for Community AdviceDescriptionLocation: School of Law and Social Justice Building www.liverpoolaccesstoadvicenetwork.org.uk Free independent quality advice is an essential force against injustice and inequality, supporting people in diverse and often disenfranchised communities to secure their rights and entitlements. Community-based organisations provide essential information and support in obtaining advice on key issues such as housing, income, employment, benefits, debt, immigration, education and social care. In the UK today it is widely felt that some forces are seeking to stoke and exploit social division. At the same time some organisations are calling for the removal of long-standing rights and entitlements. Growing income inequality and people's struggles in the face of both the housing and cost-of-living crisis can provide fertile ground for those seeking to divide our communities. It is in this context that community organisations and advice providers need more than ever to work together, both to help protect people's rights but also to demonstrate a powerful, positive narrative of inclusion, justice and common values.
