Launch of website for
Community Workers
www.law4community.org.au
Fitzroy Legal Service has now launched Law4community a new
website for community workers to find legal services and
information. Law4community addresses the growing need for legal
information specific to the services offered by community workers.
It provides information on how to avoid or manage legal issues
faced by clients.
Features of Law4community www.law4community.org.au are:
* A simple directory which can locate legal services using an
easy three step process.
* A series of practical legal checklists to flag possible legal
issues and where to get assistance.
* Information and articles on the latest policy reform affecting
the community sector
Law4Community is a companion website to the comprehensive, The
Law Handbook Online, a practical guide to the law in Victoria.
Together they provide accessible legal information for the
community to better manage their legal issues and to consider the
law when making decisions.
This is an excellent resource for all community workers so please
make your staff aware of it and encourage all to familiarise
themselves with it and use it when needing legal help for
clients.
