Our organisation offers single parent families free 24-hour legal advice, amongst many other services. We recently started working with Imran Afzal, who is now our Head of Legal Advice.
We have recently set up legal information on a new Facebook page, in several South Asian languages along with European languages, to have a larger outreach within the UK.
We at SPSAS understand the need for legal information being available to single parents and we feel that those single parents who cannot speak English should not feel that a language barrier restricts them from accessing information.
