Provisional library advice session calendar
This is a launch calendar for the pilot advice-centre model. The dates below are proposed first-Saturday sessions. Each session remains subject to room booking, library approval, public-liability requirements, adviser availability and final insurance checks.
Important: Attendance at a session does not pause Employment Tribunal or Acas deadlines. If your deadline is close, contact Acas or take urgent independent advice immediately.
