Young Legal Aid Lawyers (YLAL) COVID-19 Survey
This is a survey of YLAL members to gather evidence of how COVID-19 is impacting upon their professional lives.

This survey can be completed entirely anonymously. If you choose to provide your email address, we will only use it to contact you if we need to follow-up on any points that you have raised in your survey response.  YLAL intends to use the evidence gathered through this survey to inform its campaigning work and to advocate for our members' interests at this difficult time.

If you would like to contact the YLAL committee to raise any additional concerns, please email ylalinfo@gmail.com.

We are very grateful for your input.
