This is an excellent tool for public and professionals to obtain advice on entitlement to benefits and maximising their income. In addition it provides recommendations for other grants available and affordable options for energy and wifi. The budgeting tool is valuable in increasing awareness of household spending/ overspending so a person can make suitable changes to spending or lifestyle to help make ends meet and alleviate overall debt.

Police in Practice is easy and straight forward to use. There have been additional questions integrated into the Calculator, which help to strengthen the reliability of the results. The additional support is extremely useful also, and it is tailored to the individual's circumstances, based on the inputted information. This helps to ensure further advice and support is given to individuals, to potentially improve the financial situation and more of individuals. Reviewed on: 20th March 2024
