Winner of "Best CAB Web Site for Social Policy Content 2004"
Campaign for Change
The experience of Citizens Advice Bureaux gives them a unique, fresh insight into the problems facing UK citizens. The Citizens Advice service has always had two twin aims: to give advice and to seek to influence national and local services and policies.
This means that we talk to Government, local councils and other policy makers to help them improve the laws and services that affect ordinary people.
More information on Citizens Advice Social Policy can be found on the national website, where you can download evidence journals and reports which detail previous campaigns.
