Legal Services
If you want advice on issues such as debt problems,
welfare benefits, housing and immigration, the Community Legal
Service can help.
The Community Legal Service is improving public access to
good-quality legal and advice services. At the heart of the
Community Legal Service are local networks of service providers.
These include advice bureaus, law centres, independent advice
centres and local authority services.
People involved in the Community Legal Service actively aim to
put you in touch with the right person quickly so that you get the
right type of advice and information.
