Torbay Advice Network
Torbay Advice Network was set up to implement the recommendations of the Advice Strategy (2006) around Quality, Training, Access, Monitoring, Volunteer recruitment, Strategic Voice and the provision of an Advice Centre.
The main priorities today are to:
- Deliver multi-agency training at basic, skilled advisor and legal advisor levels
- Monitor the sector and use the information to develop the TAN community
- Increase the Strategic Voice of the sector as a whole
- Increase Quality Standards
- Develop membership standards, criteria and participation
- Attract new volunteers to TAN and the sector
Future priorities dependent on funding are to:
- Develop single points of entry via an advice hub, telephone signposting line and web portal
