Research and Campaigns
Citizens Advice Bedford delivers a Research & Campaigns service which is part of 2nd line services.
The Research and Campaign team at Citizens Advice Bedford is staffed by volunteers. The objective is to influence policy, both locally and as part of a national Citizens Advice network by submitting evidence based papers on local issues. The benefits of being part of a national network are the influence Citizens Advice is able to leverage on government policy and highlighting the effects of new legislation.
The team have been extremely busy, producing relevant, evidence based reports on issues highlighted by our clients.

- Registering with GP Practitioners
