You are here: Gathering data > Community partners
Community legal centres' work has positive impacts for four key groups: clients, community partners, other organisations in the justice system, and volunteers.
This section sets out the process for gathering data about working with community partners, which may include organisations such as referral agencies, neighbourhood centres, domestic violence services, housing services, health services, organisations your CLC has an MOU with etc. As community legal education (CLE) is sometimes delivered to the community directly, this definition may also include your local community or community of interest. This data can then be added to your Impact report or your Service review.
