The Citizens Advice service helps people resolve their legal, money and other problems by providing free, independent and confidential advice, and by influencing policymakers.
Every Citizens Advice Bureau is a registered charity reliant on trained volunteers and funds to provide these vital services for local communities.
Supporting migrant workers |

The Citizens Advice service has a major part to play in bringing about better relations between individuals and between different communities. Our whole ethos is about helping people, whoever they are, to exercise their rights and responsibilities and to obtain fair treatment under the law, thereby improving their lives. This Good Practice Guide looks at some of the challenges members of the Rural Bureaux Network have identified when supporting migrant workers, and how rural Citizens Advice Bureaux have overcome these challenges through a variety of initiatives. These initiatives can be replicated in rural areas across England and Wales, by rural bureaux, who are looking to support the migrant workers who make such a positive contribution to our economy and society. There are many ways in which the Citizens Advice service can act to promote social cohesion and to support the migrant worker community. It is vital that we play our part.
