  • Advice is free of charge, non-judgemental and without discrimination.
  • Information about you will be treated as confidential. We will not talk to anyone else about your situation without your permission, unless what you tell us is a breach of your Student visa conditions or if we believe that there is a serious risk to your safety or the safety of another person.

  • If you email us for advice, we will aim to reply to you in one to two working days.

  • You will provide us with all the information/documents we request in order that we may provide you with the appropriate advice and information for your needs.
