12. Turn2us Helpline

12.1 Introduction to the Turn2us Helpline

An introduction to the services provided by the helpline can be found on our website in the Helpline section.

12.2 Service provision: what you can expect from us

Turn2us strives for high standards as a provider of services. In doing so, Turn2us recognises the need to ensure that all enquires received and made by our helpline advisers are handled in an acceptable and appropriate manner.

Our hours of service are from 9.00 am until 5.00 pm Monday to Friday each week.

All callers waiting longer than 20 seconds receive an information message.

All callers are given a confidentiality statement.

12.2.1 Email enquiries to us

We aim to acknowledge your email within one working day and answer it within two working days. Where we need to refer to a third party, a reply will be sent within three working days.

Where the enquiry is outside the scope of our service, we will signpost you to services relevant for you.

The contents of any emails and any attachments that pass between us are confidential and you should take great care before sharing our emails with anyone else; as to do so will compromise the security of our communication.

Please note that whilst we shall  try to address your enquiry by email, this may not be possible if your enquiry is of a more complex nature. In these cases, we will kindly request that you contact us using our freephone number. We assume that by making an enquiry by e-mail, you agree to us replying to the e-mail address that you have given us.

Please also be advised that full protection via email cannot be guaranteed and therefore you should take the following steps to protect your privacy:

  • If you send a sensitive email to us, security will be threatened because email is not a secure medium of communication. If you are concerned that sensitive information in your email will be disclosed to unintended recipients you may want to consider choosing a different way to communicate with us.

  • When you start to type in the name of the recipient, some email software will suggest similar addresses you have used before. If you have previously emailed several websites where the address starts in the same way - for example: “info” - the auto-complete function may bring up several “infos”. Make sure you choose the right address before you click send.

  • If you want to send an email to us without revealing our address to other recipients, or you wish to send an email to others without revealing that we are a recipient, make sure you use blind carbon copy (bcc), not carbon copy (cc). When you use cc every recipient of the message will be able to see the address it was sent to.

  • Be careful when using a group email address. Check who is in the group and make sure you really want to send your message to everyone.

  • Install a firewall and virus-checking on your computers.

  • Make sure that your operating system is set up to receive automatic updates.

  • Protect your computer by downloading the latest patches or security updates, which should cover vulnerabilities.

  • Encrypt any personal information held electronically that would cause damage or distress if it were lost or stolen.

  • Take regular back-ups of the information on your computer system and keep them in a separate place so that if you lose your computers, you don’t lose the information.

  • Securely remove all personal information before disposing of old computers (by using technology or destroying the hard disk).

  • Consider installing an anti-spyware tool. Spyware is the generic name given to programs that are designed to secretly monitor your activities on your computer. Spyware can be unwittingly installed within other file and program downloads, and their use is often malicious. They can capture passwords, banking credentials and credit card details, then relay them back to fraudsters. Anti-spyware helps to monitor and protect your computer from spyware threats, and it is often free to use and update.

  • Use a strong password - these are long (at least seven characters) and have a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and the special keyboard characters like the asterisk or currency symbols.

  • Do not believe emails that appear to come from your bank or anyone else that ask for your account, credit card details or your password (a bank would never ask for this information in this way).

  • Do not open spam – not even to unsubscribe or ask for no more mailings. Delete the email and either get spam filters on your computers or use an email provider that offers this service.

12.2.2 Postal enquiries to us

The Turn2us Helpline will respond to postal enquiries within two working days of receipt of your letter.

Where we need to refer to a third party, a reply will be posted within three working days.

For any other postal enquiries; we will respond within 10 working days of receipt of your letter.

12.2.3 Call signposting and referral

There will be some instances when your enquiry may be outside the scope of our service. We will try to signpost you to a relevant organisation.

12.2.4 Confidentiality

Turn2us helpline advisers comply with the Turn2us Data-Protection-and-Confidentiality-Policy-(PDF-file-size: 225kb)

We advise callers of the confidential nature of our service and obtain consent before sharing information that may be needed in order to send a grant enquiry or apply for grants on your behalf.

In certain circumstances, confidentiality may need to be broken. These are outlined in the Confidentiality Policy and our adviser will explain to you why they need to breach confidentiality.

12.2.5 Caller numbers

When you telephone our helpline, the caller number will be showing to the adviser. This will not be used by them without your permission, for example to call you back.

If you do not wish your number to be shown, please dial 141 before the helpline number and this will ensure that the number is not visible to the helpline advisers.

12.2.6 Data protection

All personal information received from individuals or from enquirers will be handled and recorded in accordance with the Turn2us Data-Protection-and-Confidentiality-Policy-(PDF-file-size: 225kb). In particular, we follow the eight principles of good information handling:
