Reviews from the Year 2008-2009

Debt Counselling

The aim of the review was to look at the debt counselling services available in the district and nationally and establish if the council could be doing more to help people access the advice services they need. The Panel made a series of recommendations intended to ensure the council identifies potential debtors at the earliest opportunity, that people receive advice from the appropriate agency and that a strategy is developed to tackle financial exclusion across the district.
