Legal needs survey for Community Organisations

We are conducting a survey to help us understand how voluntary organisations in Coventry and Birmingham help people to deal with everyday legal problems, for example with issues like benefits, housing or employment. The survey can be accessed here: Legal Needs Survey for Community Organisations(External link)(External link)(External link).

We would be grateful if someone from your organisation in a managerial role, or who otherwise has sufficient insight into organisational practices, could take the time to fill out the survey. The survey should take no more than 20 minutes. The deadline for completion is 17 April 2026.

Your responses will help us to design services and training that can help more people in Coventry and Birmingham to access their rights and get legal support.

If you would prefer to do this survey over Teams or the phone, please contact T.Mulqueen@warwick.ac.uk(External link) or Katherine Lloyd katherine.lloyd@centralenglandlc.org.uk(External link)

Please also feel free to contact Dr Tara Mulqueen or Katherine Lloyd if you have any questions or if there is anything more that you would like to discuss.
