Welcome to Birmingham Peoples Centre
Please note, the Centre from January 2025 is providing a reduced service. We will prioritise assisting those who live or work in Birmingham facing disciplinary action. We can only provide general information about discrimination issues and we do not have the resources to assist with complex matters.
If you need urgent advice or we are unable to assist you might wish to contact the Acas Helpline on 0300 123 1100, or visit their website: www.acas.org.uk/contact. For discrimination issues EASS might be able to assist: https://www.equalityadvisoryservice.com/
