This legal needs analysis was undertaken to identify areas of need that exist within the Grampian region, using a COVID-19 lens to identify additional legal need that may have arisen, or been exacerbated, by ongoing restrictions. This includes areas such as:
• Family violence
• Family Law
• Employment
• Income
• Housing
To undertake this project, a review of existing service delivery, combined with community feedback from service providers and data from various Government sources, including the 2016 Census provide an overview of the community and areas for service adjustment or improvement.
