  • 1 the Name of the Society Shall Be the Fabian Society
    RULES OF THE FABIAN SOCIETY 1 The name of the Society shall be the Fabian Society. 2 The Fabian Society consists of socialists. It therefore aims for a classless society, where a just distribution of wealth and power assures true equality of opportunity. It holds that society, through its democratic institutions, should determine the overall direction and distribution of economic activity, and seeks to promote where appropriate the social and co-operative ownership of economic resources. It argues for strong and accountable public institutions reflecting the values of public service to meet need. It believes in an active democracy, characterised by liberty, tolerance and respect for diversity. It aims at the implementation of the Charter of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and seeks the creation of effective international institutions to uphold and promote world peace and sustainable development. It seeks to secure these ends by the methods of political democracy. The Society, believing in equal citizenship in the fullest sense, is open to persons, irrespective of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or creed, who commit themselves to its aims and purposes and undertake to promote its work. Its activities shall be the furtherance of socialism and the education of the public on socialist lines by the holding of meetings, lectures, discussion groups and conferences, the promotion of research into political, economic and social problems, national and international, the publication of books, pamphlets and periodicals, and by any other appropriate methods. The Society shall be affiliated to the Labour Party. 3 The Society as a whole shall have no collective policy beyond what is implied in Rule 2; its research shall be free and objective in its methods.

    SOS POLITICAL SCIENCE & PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION M.A POLITICAL SCIENCE II SEM POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY: MODERN POLITICAL THOUGHT, THEORY & CONTEMPORARY IDEOLOGIES UNIT-III Topic Name-fabian socialism WHAT IS MEANT BY FABIAN SOCIALISM? • The Fabian Society is a British socialistorganisation whose purpose is to advance the principles of democratic socialism via gradualist and reformist effort in democracies, rather than by revolutionary overthrow WHO STARTED THE FABIAN SOCIETY? • Its nine founding members were Frank Podmore, Edward R. Pease, William Clarke, Hubert Bland, Percival Chubb, Frederick Keddell, H. H. Champion, Edith Nesbit, and Rosamund Dale Owen. WHO IS THE PROPOUNDER OF FABIAN SOCIALISM? • In the period between the two World Wars, the "Second Generation" Fabians, including the writers R. H. Tawney, G. D. H. Cole and Harold Laski, continued to be a major influence on socialistthought. But the general idea is that each man should have power according to his knowledge and capacity. WHAT IS THE FABIAN POLICY? • The Fabian strategy is a military strategy where pitched battles and frontal assaults are avoided in favor of wearing down an opponent through a war of attrition and indirection. While avoiding decisive battles, the side employing this strategy harasses its enemy through skirmishes to cause attrition, disrupt supply and affect morale. Employment of this strategy implies that the side adopting this strategy believes time is on its side, but it may also be adopted when no feasible alternative strategy can be devised. HISTORY • This

  • Our Aims and Principles the Principles of CAB Advice How CAB Advisers Can Help
    Our aims and principles The Citizens Advice service aims: • To provide the advice people need for the problems they face. • To improve the policies and practices that affect people’s lives. The service provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities. It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. The principles of CAB advice Independent – we will always act in the interests of our clients, without influence from any outside bodies. Impartial – we don’t judge our clients or make assumptions about them. Our service is open to everyone, and we treat everyone equally. Confidential – we won’t pass on anything a client tells us – or even the fact that they’ve visited us – without their permission. Free – no-one has to pay for any part of the service we provide. Top five CAB client problems in 2009/10 (England and Wales) • Debt (2,374,000) • Benefits and tax credits (2,074,000) • Employment (586,000) • Housing (468,000) • Relationships and family (333,000) How CAB advisers can help There are a number of different ways that CAB advisers can help people to resolve a problem. Advisers don’t tell clients what to do, but explain their options and the possible outcomes of different courses of action. Clients are encouraged to make their own decisions and act on their own behalf. We enable clients to manage their own problems by focusing on their needs as individuals. CAB advisers, most of whom are trained volunteers can: • interview clients face-to-face and by phone

  • Scottish Expert Panel for the Collaborative Economy Participation: Consumers, Providers, Business & Digital Skills
    Scottish Expert Panel for the Collaborative Economy briefing - Citizens Advice Scotland Scottish Expert Panel for the Collaborative Economy Participation: Consumers, Providers, Business & Digital Skills Written briefing from Citizens Advice Scotland Citizens Advice Scotland (CAS), our 61 member Citizen Advice Bureaux (CAB), the Citizen Advice consumer helpline, and the Extra Help Unit, form Scotland’s largest independent advice network. Advice provided by our service is free, independent, confidential, impartial and available to everyone. Our self- help website Advice for Scotland provides information on rights and helps people solve their problems. In 2015/16 the Citizens Advice network in Scotland helped over 310,000 clients in Scotland alone and dealt with over one million advice issues. With support from the network clients had financial gains of over £120 million and our Scottish self-help website Advice for Scotland received over 4 million unique page views. Introduction CAS welcomes the opportunity to provide evidence to the Scottish Expert Panel for the Collaborative Economy. The benefits to consumers and to the economy of the collaborative economy are potentially significant, although it is important that protections are in place to ensure that consumers, providers and workers do not suffer from any poor practice or policies. In this initial briefing, we provide high level evidence on the consumer experience of aspects of the collaborative economy as collated by citizens advice bureaux and the Citizens Advice Consumer Helpline. Due to the nature of advice provision, evidence from the CAB network predominantly focuses on problems that consumers experience in any sector. This briefing therefore focuses on consumer protection and the types of problems that people can experience in the collaborative economy – whether they are consumers, providers or workers.

The Citizens Advice service has a network of around 300 member Citizens Advice offices and 23,000 volunteers, delivering advice services from over 2,600 outreach centers. We provide advice face-to-face, over the phone and through digital channels. We act as one service, with one vision, yet we are also rooted in each and every community across England and Wales. In 2016/17 our network saw 2.7 million people with 6.3 million issues. Our 2014 national research into the outcomes and impact of our advice demonstrated that at least two out of three clients who seek our help will have their problem partly or completely solved. From 2012, we have had responsibility for the Consumer Direct telephone service, now known as the Citizens Advice consumer service On 1 April 2015, Citizens Advice took over responsibility for the Witness Service from Victim Support.
