Description

The Council is looking to appoint a Consultant / Researcher to understand the impact of the residents of the district, when the Discretionary Scheme was abolished in March 2015. Does the new scheme from April 2015 meet the needs of the residents and what amendments may be required to the current scheme? Since the new scheme was introduced only 800 applicants have been made. What could be the reasons for this low takeup and what are people doing instead of applying for the loan? Are there any impacts of the low take up that may be affecting debt levels, homelessness and crime? A report will be required along with an executive summary, methodology statement, evidence based Appendix (showing survey results etc) and a presentation of your research findings.
