Invitation: Advice services strategy - engagement events

The National Advice Network, which was established by the Welsh Government in February 2015, recently submitted their advice to the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children on the future of social welfare law advice in Wales. 

Before finalising an Information and Advice Action Plan they would like to engage more widely with other stakeholders.
The engagement events are aimed both at those already operating within the sector and for anyone with an interest in ensuring that good quality information and advice services are accessible to those who need them.

Four regional venues have been secured across Wales as below:

Welsh Government Offices, Aberystwyth – 15th August - 10:30am – 3:30pm
Welsh Government Offices, Llandudno Junction, 9th September – 10:30am – 3:30pm
Welsh Government Offices, Merthyr Tydfil, 22nd August – 10:30am – 3:30pm
Welsh Government Offices, Penllegaer, Swansea – 6th September – 10:30am – 3:30pm
