About Directions

Directions is produced free of charge for people working within the legal advice sector. It is also of interest to:

• local authorities
• government departments
• primary care trusts
• other agencies that share a similar agenda to the CLS.

It aims to:

• inform those working within the CLS of new policy developments
• increase understanding of the CLS's work and network
• raise awareness of the legal problems faced by clients in real life
• explain where the CLS sits within the context of the LSC's work and government policy.

A typical issue will contain:

• new LSC policy directions for the CLS
• national news and developments relevant to the CLS
• examples of best practice and lessons learnt from acts of advice and assistance, preventative work as well as information and education
• reports on and articles from other agencies that share an agenda with the CLS
• invitations to tender for projects and respond to consultations.
