Expanding our local government solutions – welcome LA Directories!

As a team, we’re committed to providing solutions that deliver real world impact for public sector organisations and the communities they serve. That’s why we’re pleased welcome the people and solutions from LA Directories to the Infoshare+ family!
Since 2006, LA Directories have been trusted by more than 100 UK councils to interpret the complex laws governing housing-related welfare benefits. Their flagship product, The Benefits Directory, is an online knowledge tool that consolidates relevant laws and guidance around Housing Benefits Council Tax reductions and gives plain English explanations to speed up decision making for benefits assessments.
By creating an easy access solution that is kept up to date daily, The Benefits Directory reduces time spent on research, improves the speed and accuracy of assessing claims, and helps to maximise the income of people who qualify for support.
LA Directories are also one of the leading training providers in the welfare sector, partnering with a further 100 councils to deliver both the tools and insights needed to offer the best service possible to their communities.
“Local authorities face increasing pressure to meet growing regulatory burdens without compromising the services they provide. However, interpreting complex regulatory requirements and keeping up to date with changes can impact the speed of decision-making on benefits assessments. The addition LA Directories team and their tool The Benefits Directory, allows us to offer councils even more solutions aimed at making their life easier and helping them better support their communities. We’re delighted to welcome them to the family.”
Steve Thorn, Executive Chairman at Infoshare+
“The move to Infoshare+ is a natural next step for LA Directories. The existing Infoshare+ platform will help take our solutions and services into a new era whilst preserving the personal touch that LA Directories has become so well known for. We are excited to become part of the value-driven bigger picture that Infoshare+ is building at the same time as continuing the collaboration we have developed with our customers.”
