Grant Funding for Information Advice and Guidance (IAG) services
•A significant amount of work was done to
reshape the IAG Grant in 2019 implementing a
‘step-change’ towards a ‘whole system’
model of integrated advice services, a referrer/citizen friendly
system (see Appendix A and Ab)
•The Cabinet meeting on 3rd March 2020 approved the extension
of the grant funding plan for one year to provide an opportunity to
review the grant arrangement and align it with the city council
strategic approach to advice and ethical debt (see Appendix
B)
•This wider council project has not progressed due to Covid
-19 and limited resource
•Current grant arrangements are working well, delivering
benefits to Bristol Citizens and driving strategic improvements in
the advice sector (see Appendix C)
•The Cabinet meeting on 3rd March approved the option to
extend the current grant for a further two and a half years to 30th
April 2024
•Extension of the current grant will provide stability to the
advice sector at a time of high demand and allow time for Bristol
City Council time to consider the strategic fit of the grant in the
future.
