CAB Social Policy Volunteering

Angus Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB)
VO101640

Bureau social policy volunteers use information from the problems brought to the bureau by clients, to help bring about real change.

Bureaux do this to meet the second aim of the CAB Service in Scotland: to influence social policy, both locally and nationally.

This is a flexible role, which can sometimes be partly carried out away from the bureau and outside our opening hours.

Social policy work can involve:
• Completing and collating evidence forms that record information about the problems that clients experience
• Keeping in touch with staff at Citizens Advice Scotland who also do social policy work
• Identifying and raising social policy issues in the bureau e.g. at staff and volunteer meetings
• Training staff and volunteers in spotting particular issues and flagging then on the electronic client recording system
• Contributing to planning and undertaking local campaigns
• Contributing to media work and liaising with other bureaux and agencies to provide a voice for clients

The role requires a minimum commitment of 4 hours per week.
