In March 2012 the London Irish Centre’s advice services were audited by the Community Legal Services (the Assessment Network).

On March 29 2012 the quality Mark was awarded to certify the London Irish Centre meets the requirements of the Community Legal Service Standard for General Help with Casework in:

Housing
Welfare/Benefits
Debt
Older People

The General Quality Mark (GQM) is part of a family of Standards that assures the quality of advice and service that members of the public receive when they are seeking legal advice. Holders of the Quality Mark are organisations that provide advice to members of the public.

For information about the opening and closing times of the Centre’s advice services go to http://www.londonirishcentre.org/welfare/advice

What the Assessment Network said:

LIC prides itself on being responsive to the needs of the community it serves, as demonstrated by the repeat contact sought by its client base. There was a palpable sense of mission and of confidence in the worthwhile nature of the service being provided.

Having carried out the audit process rigorously in accordance with the guidelines laid down by the Quality Mark Standard, and The Assessment Network, I am satisfied beyond any doubt that the organisation continues
to meet the requirements of the Legal Services Commission’s Quality Mark Standard. The Assessment Network is asked to endorse this recommendation and formally award Quality Mark certification for London Irish Centre.

Auditor Name: Steve Owen

Date: 29 March 2012

“Mel was extremely knowledgeable and her advice has lead to my mum successfully claiming housing and council tax benefit and we are considering the information she gave us with regard to pension tax credit and what steps to take next.

“Marcella was very helpful & explained everything about the Irish Pension. She also filled in the forms for us &now I get the Pension from home”

“Mary helped when there was no one else…it was a big relief…I would have just given up otherwise”
