Dropping in
Our office waiting rooms can be very busy places. Please be assured that our volunteer advisers will do their very best to see you as quickly as possible, however there can be unavoidable delays. If you're unable to wait you can request us to telephone you. Please note that telephone call backs are usually undertaken within 2 working days. If you feel that your issue cannot wait that long, please tell the receptionist.
To assist in achieving continuing improvements in client service, we have a client feedback system, which enables us to monitor each aspect of our service, from initial reception through to helpfulness of the advice interview for the client. Please do take a minute to complete a feedback form following your interview.
