Services for the Community have been created as part of the National Legal Data Standards. They used to commonly be called CLE (Community Legal Education) work or similar. (CLE is now one of several service types in this section).
For Services for the Community, there are two levels of data. “Projects” came from the previous database, (they are not in the new data standards) and they simply act like a folder (or bucket) in which the Services are stored. Sometimes Centres get funding to run multiple services, and this information can be added (if required) in the Project fields. But it is the Services inside the projects that count in Services for the Community. In CLASS these are called “Project Services” to distinguish them from the CLASS Services for the individual (legal services etc.)
Your funders do not see or count Projects, they are only for Centre internal use. Funders do see details and counts of Project Services – so this is the important data to add to CLASS. To Create a new Project Service, you will however first need a Project. Some Centres use Projects extensively – to say collect all the project services of the same type or time period together. Other centres only create one Project for each Financial year.
In accordance with the original National Legal Data Standards, and the more recent Data Consistency Guide the Services Types Include:
The Definitions for the above Project Services are now defined in the Data Consistency Guide Community Projects Section. See the links on this page for details.

These Services and their Projects can be searched for using the:
