POLICY WORK
The link between access to legal services and social inclusion informs much of our work on policy, legal education, consultation and partnership. The Law Centre combines a holistic approach to casework with its policy and partnership work to highlight where services are failing and to link individual legal problems to broader questions of local and national policy and practice to improve social inclusion.
The majority of our clients are disproportionately from BME groups, unemployed or in low paid work, disabled or suffer from long term health problems, asylum seekers and refugees, elderly or live in poor housing conditions.
The Law Centre operates within areas of very considerable deprivation. Our two local wards are among the ten per cent most deprived wards nationally.
Our networks include:
- Membership of the Voluntary Agencies Advice Forum in Kensington & Chelsea

- Member of Race Equality Partnership Kensington and Chelsea (REPKC) www.repkc.org.uk
