About our tutors

Our course tutors are all members of the Equality and employment rights team at Citizens Advice specialist support. They give second-tier advice on over 3000 employment cases per year, from simple wages claims to complex discrimination claims. The team holds the national contract with the Legal Services Commission to support advisers in employment and discrimination advice.

Members of the team have a wide variety of experience as practising employment lawyers and regularly appear as representatives in Employment Tribunals and the EAT. We match this experience with a commitment to produce training which produces an active learning experience, maximising the value of the courses we deliver.
