• A Management Support Service is now available for anyone in the industry who manages or mentors other staff members.
• Telephone Information Specialists who are Citizens Advice trained are on hand to assist with practical guidance on everything from benefits checks to consumer rights.
• Critical Incident Support – meaning immediate telephone access to counsellors and trained counsellors on-site post critical incident.
• The partnership will also benefit Racing Welfare’s Careers Advice & Training Service (CATS) which now offers direct access to qualified careers coaches.
• A lifestyle website featuring a wealth of useful information and advice including a wellbeing assessment and access to free informative webinars across a range of topics.
