Sources of legal advice and support

[ch 14: page 529]

Most trade unions offer support to members wanting to bring an ET claim as long as they meet eligibility criteria, typically length of membership and strength of claim. Other sources of support include Citizens Advice and the LawWorks charity: www.lawworks.org.uk which connects a network of volunteer lawyers and advice centres with people needing legal advice who cannot pay.
