Potential collaboration on insurance advocacy service

The two parties setting up insurance support services for quake-hit Cantabrians will meet today to share ideas and identify each others' roles. The Canterbury Insurance Advocacy Service - or CIAS - is establishing a charitable trust to provide an insurance advocacy service, with $200,000 of support already granted by the Christchurch City Council. Members are meeting with those behind CERA's residential advisory service today. Trust spokeswoman Ali Jones says there's a possibility the two services could overlap. "It seems there may be some areas of advocacy within the advisory service, but we won't know that until we've met with them this afternoon ad can ascertain that." Ali Jones says today's meeting shows the two parties are working together to help resolve the insurance issues Cantabrians are facing.
