Nottingham Consultation – Community Engage - No defunding of critical services.

Abstract
Since 2013 cuts to civil legal aid across the UK have led to reduced, and inadequate legal support. It is estimated over 43,000 poor people in the UK will be unable to get critical legal specialist support with the charity sector having a 18% hole in their finances in 2023-24. In 2023 critical national services are losing Ministry funding despite positive evaluation. Austerity in the UK diminishes opportunities to address causes of inequality and systemic drivers. Legal expertise required to challenge systemic causes of inequality is missed further entrenching disadvantage. My research is already improving Access to Justice evidencing how outcomes are improved in social determinants of health by uptake of justice options (housing, safety, income etc.). Based on this evidence base reducing funding to such a critical service as the Nottingham Law Centre based on my expertise in research and practice will do significant harm to the local community.
