Employment Information

If you are concerned about a situation at work, unsure of what your rights are relating to pay, time off, conditions at work, or are being dismissed, made redundant or facing disciplinary action, then the information below may be able to help you.

You should be aware that there are time limits in relation to how long you have to raise some issues with employers, so you should seek advice or take action as soon as you become aware of the problem.

If you are a member of a trade union, you should seek advice from them first, as they are often a source of specialist (and often free) legal advice on employment matters for members.

If you have an Education issue, from Primary School admissions to a problem with your university course, there is information available below, and advice may be available from the following partnership agencies.

If your issue relates to disability rights or disability discrimination in education or employment, including Special Educational Needs, please also see that section of this website.

If you have a Employment issue there is information and details of advice providers available below.
