In July 2005 Barton Hill Advice Service merged with East Bristol Advice Centre to form East Bristol Advice Services, which provides a comprehensive range of advice services, from Benefits Advice, Debt Advice, Housing Advice to Employment Rights and Consumer Rights. BHAS is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and now has a separate website.

This site, still using the name BHAS but not connected with Barton Hill, continues with the ethos of providing free guides and information about crucial law related sites and for useful guidance on employment law and legal disputes we suggest you click here.

Legal rights provide the foundation of a just society and thankfully there are now many free legal guides and resources on the internet which provide much needed information on workplace and other rights. For another good example of this, simply click here.

With a change of government, there has been a lot written about how this will affect benefits and in the coming months BHAS will be adding many updates on sickness and disability benefits such as :

• Disability Living Allowance
• Attendance Allowance
• Incapacity Benefit
• Work & Benefits for people with learning difficulties

In the meantime, if you want to know more about general legal topics and information on a regional or geographical basis, our suggestion would be to either click here or click here.
