If you feel you need advice or guidance, you can talk to one of our friendly Advisers. We provide a safe, confidential space to discuss your concerns without fear of judgement. Nothing will be acted on without your consent, unless there are safeguarding concerns.

We’ll listen and advise you on the best possible steps you can take for your circumstances, including talking you through processes, working with you on putting together the information you need to collate, and reviewing your documents before you submit them. We’ll also highlight other services that we recommend you get support from.

Our service opening hours are 10am-4pm, Monday to Friday. Get in touch with us today.

Our reception is open 10am-4pm, Monday to Friday.

We are able to attend with you at meetings, panels and hearings in a supportive role, which can include:

  • Talking you through the likely steps of the process prior to the meeting,
  • Providing emotional support and writing notes for you during the meeting and,
