Forms

This section contains information, forms and materials for legal aid providers we have a formal contract with.

These materials are only available in English and fall outside the scope of the LSC’s Welsh Language policy.

As part of the implementation of our Welsh Language Scheme, we have a number of our forms available in Welsh as well as English. The Welsh or bilingual forms are in a similar design and to the same standards as the English versions.

Certain CLS and CDS forms are available in Welsh. View or download them on the Welsh language version of this page.

Wales Committee for the CLS

The Wales Committee for the Community Legal Service (CLS) was launched in 2007.

Its purpose is to strengthen and improve the delivery of the Community Legal Service in Wales by bringing together policy makers and funders of legal and advice services.

It helps with planning of other public services which impact on clients’ legal advice service needs.

The Committee produced its first annual report in July 2008, followed by its subsequent reports in July 2009 and April 2010.

See 'Documents' on the right hand side of this page for the meeting minutes and Annual Reports.

Making Legal Rights a Reality in Wales

Making Legal Rights a Reality in Wales is a joint policy paper between the LSC and the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG).

Provider Reference Groups

The meeting summaries and papers from recent Provider Reference Group (PRG) meetings are published here. Please see 'Documents' on the right hand side of this page.

A 'One-Stop-Shop' is available to provide translation and interpretation services in Wales.
