We can help you defend your workplace rights

We no longer provide an in-house employment advice service. However, you may still be able to access one-off employment advice through one of the options below.

One-off Advice Programme

Our One-off Advice Programme provides free, initial legal advice to anyone who needs it. You could be eligible for a friendly, one-to-one chat with a volunteer expert who can offer some one-off help with your legal issue.

Our volunteer advisers support people in our community, including those on low incomes who are not eligible for legal aid, to understand their rights and decide on next steps. They can advise on issues including unfair dismissal, unpaid wages, breach of conduct and grievances.

If you need advice, please get in touch using our contact forms,  and we may be able to offer free initial advice through our volunteer lawyers.

This service is open to everyone.
