Supply of face-to-face debt advice (13447) Metric type

This is the estimated supply of face-to-face debt advice. Supply has been defined as the total number of clients who received advice/casework for their debt problems through face-to-face, telephone and advice channels. Figures have been rounded to the nearest ten.

The aim of this Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) research was to understand the current ‘supply’ of debt advice across the UK and how this compares to the ‘demand’ for debt advice, at local authority level. The findings help identify the areas where debt advice is most needed.

Every provider with permission to deliver debt advice in the UK was given the opportunity to participate in the survey. Modelling work was used to estimate the additional supply being delivered by non-responding providers. Large parts of the online services, including webchat are anonymised, therefore a statistical approach has been taken to model online usage and derive the geographic distribution. Due to its non-localised nature, the online supply is disaggregated proportionally based on the over indebted population at relevant geographies. This acts as a smoothing effect and shows proportional levels of unmet demand across all regions.
