Description:
Alliance of advice networks.
The Advice Services Alliance is the umbrella body for independent advice services in the UK. Their members are national networks of not-for-profit organisations providing advice and help on law, access to services and related issues.
The organisation can deal with enquiries from advisers only NOT members of the public.

Aims:

  • To champion the development of high quality information, advice and legal services.
  • To ensure that people are not denied access to such services on account of lack of means, discrimination or other disadvantage.
  • To encourage co-operation between organisations providing such services.
  • To provide a forum for the discussion of issues of common interest or concern to advice organisations.

Activities:
ASA's work focusses on:

  • The role of the independent advice sector.
  • Funding and development of advice services.
  • Quality and standards of advice work.
  • Methods of delivering advice services.
  • The impact of the legal system on clients of advice agencies.
  • Relations with other providers of advice and legal services.

On behalf of members, they respond to government initiatives relating to advice and the legal system. They represent the advice sector in discussions with government bodies and other organisations. They produce policy and discussion papers, and undertake research. They host policy forums for our members and run occasional seminars and conferences. They provide training, information and guidance to members and advice agencies.

Membership:
Full membership: open to national networks of advice services or major regional networks where there is no national network.
Associate membership: open to local networks.
Subscribers: open to organisations and individuals agreeing with the Alliance's aims and principles.
Please enquire for details.
