Legal Needs Survey

Grant: £84,000
November 26, 2014

The survey has a number of aims which are shared between the three partner organisations. To:

• understand how consumer responses to legal problems are changing;
• provide a platform for the field (including TLEF grantees) to assess the impact of their work over time;
• understand more about legal knowledge, beliefs, capability, and capacity;
• capture how legal needs interact with other needs, such as health;
• assess the impact of legal aid and Jackson reforms implemented on 1st April 2013;
• monitor changes in the market that have arisen as result of changes to regulation.

At this stage, it is envisaged that the survey will be repeated every three years.
