Good law makes for better health
Insights on the intersection between health and law in an integrated and people-centred service.
The Public Understanding of Law Survey shows that legal need and health problems can be strongly linked and there’s much more to learn from both sides of the equation. Some exciting work is being done in this space, and we’re delighted Lisa Ward of First Step Legal joined us to explore meeting legal and health needs in an integrated and people-centred service.
Lisa took us through the results of First Step Legal's health justice evaluation, and Lynne Haultain, VLF Executive Director, discussed findings from a forthcoming VLF paper on health and legal needs and capability data from the Public Understanding of Law Survey.
Our Principal Researcher Bridget McAloon joined Lisa and Lynne to expand on collaborative practice, coordinated services, and evaluation.
