 Getting access to documentation and social grants and dealing with Government Departments is complex at the best of times, and particularly challenging for people who are not familiar with reading, writing and filling in forms.

 

We are able to advise people on their rights and how to apply for services they are entitled to e.g. foster care grants.  This involves helping to process applications for documents, such as IDs, Birth, Death certificates, following up on cases where grants have not come through  and lobbying directly with relevant Departments. 

 

The Community Care Workers (CCWs) are key in referring their clients to our Paralegal Programme Coordinator for further advice and support.
