Over December and the Christmas period there will be changes to our service. Find out more below.
Changes to referrals - Closure throughout December
From Monday 5th December, our service will be closed to routine referrals. This includes things such as independent assessment work, non urgent immigration / Exceptional case funding. We will not carry a waiting list for the new year.
We will continue to accept emergency referrals in this time, for instance in cases where families are imminently homeless and age disputed young people not in local authority accommodation. We are not able to take on all cases in this time, as we use this period to catch up on casework and deal with demand on the service, if we cannot, we will signpost to another service that may be able to help.
Changes to outreach services
No outreach work will take place in any advice services throughout December.
