Christmas notice 2022
In order to allow our providers of alternative formats in the Disabled community to have some well-earned time off and to ensure that existing work is able to be prioritised and completed, all requests received after 25 November cannot be guaranteed completion prior to Christmas and may be re-allocated for the New Year.
We anticipate that all our providers will be returning to work by 16 January 2023, any requests for alternative formats will need to keep in mind these dates.
If your document request is outside of these timeframes and has an urgent delivery date, please still contact us we will continue to consider any piece of work on a case-by-case basis.
