A new website will help people understand their rights across a range of topics.
This week Citizens Advice Bureau launches a new public website - www.cab.org.nz, giving people easier access to information about their rights and responsibilities and strengthening the CAB's face-to-face service offered in 83 locations around Aotearoa.
The launch is happening during the CAB's Awareness Week, April, 8-14 which this year has a theme of Discover Your Rights - Tūhuratia ō motika.
Spanning over 300 different subjects, with information presented in a plain-language question and answer format, the CAB website is being celebrated as a valuable tool for the whole community.
"Every day we help people in hardship because they either don't know their rights or they face barriers accessing these" says Peter Death from CAB Central Taranaki.
