Service Aims
In order to access our services clients will, firstly, have
to attend the bureau for an initial 10-15 minute
gateway/diagnostic interview to discuss their issue.
Following the interview they will be offered:
- self help information and/or leaflets
- signposting to an appropriate agency
- referral to our generalist advice service

Bureau Policy
Allocation of generalist advice appointments are
made on a "first come, first served daily basis".

will not be given priority or be guaranteed an appointment
should they return to the bureau at a later stage. |
