Please Note: NCLS is pausing General Legal Advice until further notice.
We offer free, confidential, and independent legal advice in the following areas: employment law, family law, general law, discrimination, domestic abuse, debt, welfare benefits (appeals and tribunals only) and immigration - we're authorised by the OISC to provide immigration advice and services Ref. No. N201200043.
Please click on the links below for further information on the services that can be referred to through the NCAN Referral System:
Debt
We offer free, confidential debt advice to anyone struggling to pay money that they owe. Whether you have a one-off query, require someone to contact your creditors or need to consider your options, we can help. Our advisers are approved Debt Relief Order Intermediaries.
We also have a specialist women’s debt advice service.
Family
We offer free initial advice with a family solicitor on matters such as divorce and separation, child contact, and domestic abuse. We also offer help with court paperwork and support for people who are attending family court hearings without a lawyer.
Welfare Benefits
Our Welfare Benefits Appeals and Representation Service (WRARS) can assist clients with appeal forms, tribunals as well as tribunal representation.
During COVID-19 we have extended access to our service to include direct referral by clients to help ensure access to advice and promote access to justice. However we ask that NCAN agencies continue to use the CRS system as it ensures clients receive advice at the point of referral and are assisted to provide the relevant paperwork.
Any enquiries regarding the scope of the service can be made to wrars@ncls.co.uk or by phone to the WRARS team on 01603 851248.
