These are extraordinary times for everyone. The COVID-19 health emergency has brought challenges to how we conduct our everyday lives at home and at work. I hope you and your team are staying well.
I am writing to let you know that our legal advice service continues to operate as usual and with the surge in demand, particularly for employment law advice, we have created a new email channel for the public and advisers to contact our legal advice team.
For advice, call us on (028) 9024 4401. If you are experiencing difficulty getting through to an adviser you can email our advice hubs on:
• Employment – employmentadvice@lawcentreni.org
• Immigration – immigrationadvice@lawcentreni.org
• Benefits – benefitsadvice@lawcentreni.org
• General enquiries – admin@lawcentreni.org
We have also launched a new COVID-19 support webpage dedicated to providing all the latest updates and information in relation to the changes in law and policy arising from the COVID-19 situation in our core areas of work. The webpage has key resources to help advisers and members of the public, including:
• Employment rights FAQs
• Self-employed workers FAQs
• Updates on social security arrangements
• Immigration contingency plans
We held an ‘Adviser Network Webinar’ on Friday to keep advisers across the network up to date on changes in law and policy and if you missed this you can find the slides here. In response to demand, we’re running these webinars weekly to ensure advisers get the most up to date developments.
If you want to know more, or you want to register your team for the next webinar, please contact our training team at training@lawcentreni.org.
Please will you draw this information to the attention of your team?
We will continue our efforts to help the public and advisers access free, independent and confidential advice. We will continue to look to ways to respond to the current circumstances and work collectively to make a difference to people’s lives at this crucial time.
