The Debt Support Unit is part of Advice Sheffield. For information and advice go to www.advicesheffield.org.uk or ring Sheffield Adviceline on 0114 2 055 055.
We offer a consultancy service for Sheffield advice centres and other organisations who wish to assist people with problem debts. This service involves ‘advising the adviser’ – so you would remain responsible for dealing with the client but would have access to our knowledge of debt advice and other resources to help you. This service is aimed primarily at advice centres but is also available, for occasional use, to, for example:
Housing officers
Health workers
“Supporting People” projects
Social workers
Probation officers
The service is available by:
Telephone – phone 0114 250 1144 and ask for consultancy support.
The consultancy service can provide assistance with all aspects of personal debt and we will be pleased to confirm our advice in writing and provide further information resources as appropriate.
If your organisation may wish to make more than occasional use of this we would be pleased to discuss contracting arrangements.
