Public legal education evaluation framework

Evaluation is particularly crucial for Public Legal Education projects as the benefits of such projects can be hard to measure. This makes it all the more important to identify outcomes quite precisely in order to be able to assess whether they have been achieved. It is only through evaluation of PLE projects, and by sharing the results, that we can show the effectiveness of a preventive approach and begin to make the business case for our work. Law for Life has published an evaluation framework for Public Legal Education.

More information on our policy work will appear here shortly.

Benefits PLE courses

In this section we give an overview of our benefit training sessions. These courses provide an introduction to some of the key issues in applying for and maintaining benefits. We also work with partners to develop and adapt existing courses to fit the needs of participants.

We can help organisations of all sizes by:

Law for Life: the Foundation for Public Legal Education is an education and information charity that aims to increase access to justice by providing everyone with an awareness of their legal rights together with the confidence and skills to assert them.

We believe that everyone should understand their legal rights and obligations, and know how to gain redress through the legal system. Yet most people  struggle to cope with legal issues, and often don’t know where to go for help.
