Social Policy

 

One of the twin aims of Citizens Advice is to exercise a responsible influence in the

development of social policies and services both locally and nationally.

 

How do we Campaign?

 

We use the clients’ experiences to campaign for change.  We keep the details then use the

information locally and nationally to press for improvements in services and in the law.  We do this

without giving clients’ names and addresses and personal details remain confidential.

 

 What happens next?

 

*  Lobbying MPs, Assembly Members and Councillors

*  Trying to influence the Government when they are planning new laws

*  Talking to local councils about their services

*  Discussing problems with companies to persuade them to improve their services

*  Running local campaigns such as improving local transport, pressing for better banking facilities

or  calling for more NHS dentists.
