Barnet Citizens Advice Bureau provides free, independent,
confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and
responsibilities. It values diversity, promotes equality and challenges
discrimination.
 The
service aims:
- To provide the advice people need for the problems they
face
- To improve the policies and practices that affect people’s
lives
The four bureaux that make up Barnet CAB operate as centres
to provide a confidential and impartial service of advice, information
and assistance to the public.
The service is available equally to everybody who seeks its
help, regardless of race, gender, sexuality or disability. The Bureau is
affiliated to Citizens Advice, which is the national association of
Citizens Advice Bureaux, and the organisation is wholly independent.
The service is provided by unpaid volunteers, who are
supported by a team of paid supervisors, manager and specialists.
