As more and more households (it is estimated that 400,000 households in Wales are in fuel poverty) feel the impact of increasing fuel prices over the last few years and experiencing the effects of the austerity measures, public spending cuts and welfare reform, the provision of good quality in-depth fuel debt advice is more in need than ever.
From NEA’s previous work into fuel debt advice, it has been identified that there is often no support network available for frontline advisors dealing specifically with fuel debt. This can leave advisors, who are dealing with very complex, emotive issues, feeling isolated and uninformed.
NEA’s quarterly bulletin will cover the latest news, information and issues that affect the provision of fuel debt advice nationally and Wales.
