Advice service update

We are making some changes to our advice service delivery to better meet your needs.

From Monday 4th September, we will have a single contact phone number. This is to avoid confusion and help us offer a better service to you.

Our single contact number is 024 7652 1100. (If you call the ‘old’ advice line number you will be automatically redirected.)

Although there is just one number, there will usually be several people available to answer calls at the same time. We continue to offer our online enquiry service and advice by appointment at several community venues where needed.

Our telephone line will be open every weekday as follows:

  • Monday, Tuesday and Friday: 10-12 and 2-4
  • Wednesday and Thursday: 10-12 only

If you would like to offer feedback on our service, please complete our survey.

Are you in ‘precarious work’?

We are trying to find out about issues affecting people who are in ‘precarious work’, such as zero-hour contracts or any other job where the amount of regular work, and therefore the amount of income, is not guaranteed.

If you, or someone you know, is in this situation please consider completing this survey. Your responses will help us to create information that may help others in this type of work.

The survey has produced with Warwick University as part of a Public Legal Education project.

You can complete the survey at https://harry.sn/work.

Thank you for your help.

Telephone advice changes

Due to staff shortages, we have changed the operating times of our Adviceline (024 7652 1101). From Monday 18th July 2022, advice will be available by telephone on:

  • Tuesday: 1.30pm to 4.30pm
  • Wednesday: 9.30am to 12.30pm
  • Friday: 9.30 am to 12.30pm

Although this change represents a reduction in the days we are available by phone, we hope to have more advisers on the line each time.

Don’t forget that you can send an advice enquiry any time using our online form.

Thank you for your understanding.
