📢📢For anyone that has used Equip services locally, there is a consultation open for you to share your views about the future of the Warwickshire's commissioned equalities service 📢📢

The Council has launched a public consultation on the future of its externally commissioned equalities service, currently delivered by the Equalities and Inclusion Partnership (EQuIP).
The independently delivered service provides practical support, advice and training to individuals, communities, and organisations across Warwickshire, helping to tackle discrimination and hate crime and promote inclusion and community cohesion.
The Council is now consulting on the future of this commissioned service and wants to hear from those who use it, work alongside it or have an interest in equalities in Warwickshire. The views shared will help inform the Council’s next steps.
The consultation will run from Monday 12 October to Saturday 6 December 2026.

This is a really important survey and report from AdviceUK amply showing the need for free, confidential, independent advice.

📢 Hot off the press: our latest briefing, Trusted Advice When It Matters, is out now.

Based on a nationally representative survey of 3,014 UK adults, it highlights the difference free and independent advice makes to people's situations and wellbeing, and that the public sees trained advisers as central to that.

The findings reveal growing use of AI for information about money, benefits, housing and legal problems, alongside concerns about accuracy and a strong preference for human advice when problems become complex.

Below is a snapshot of our key findings on AI and you can read the full briefing here: https://bit.ly/4BBT0j5

🔹81% agree AI cannot replace a human adviser for complex or sensitive problems.
🔹77% agree AI can help advice services support more people but should not be the only source of advice.
🔹74% worry about receiving incorrect or misleading advice from an AI tool.
🔹 71% say they would trust a free, independent adviser more than an AI tool.
🔹34% had already used an AI tool for advice or information about a personal issue, while a further 35% were open to doing so.
