The National Policy Framework and Action Plan
This document contains a National Policy Framework for IAG services, which
defines at a national level the information and advice services which adults should
be entitled to expect and the standards to which those services should be
delivered. It also includes an Action Plan which sets out how
consistent, high quality and accessible IAG services for adults will be delivered.
