London
Advice Support Forum, Wednesday March 10th
The next London Advice Support Forum meeting will be on Wednesday 10th of March at 2PM promptly, at the Resource Centre, 356 Holloway Rd. London N7 6PA (Nearest underground station is Holloway Rd.)
The Advice Support Forum meets quarterly, bringing together welfare rights advisors from voluntary sector organisations across London working with different client communities, and will enable them to share, learn and develop their welfare benefits advice and representation skills and knowledge by learning from each other. We will cover the following two themes at the next forum:
1) Mental Health and Employment & Support Allowance: discussion led by Emma Mamo, the Senior Policy and Campaigns Officer from MIND
2) Right to Reside: discussion led by Essie Rashidschi, specialist welfare rights advisor, who trains for Lasa and CPAG on this subject.
If you are interested in learning more about Employment & Support Allowance or the Right to Reside Test, or have case examples or experience you would like to share on these subjects, then it is well worth you attending this next forum.
If you are a welfare benefits advice worker working for a London agency and you are interested in attending, or want more information about the forum, please telephone David Samson on 020 7426 4482 or e-mail dsamson@lasa.org.uk.
