Milton Keynes Citizens Advice Bureau

Milton Keynes Citizens Advice Bureau supports a Human Resources Toolkit aimed at helping the community and voluntary sector of Milton Keynes. It is free, confidential and impartial.

This innovative website has been developed to cover all aspects of Human Resources, to help organisations, give guidance on the pitfalls they may encounter, and assist in their day to day employment issues.

It provides organisations with a step by step guide to best practice, templates/master documents, information and guidance, and links to other relevant associations and organisations.
There are 3 ways of accessing different subjects throughout the toolkit. The topic index, A-Z index and "find" facility. Some subjects will not be in the Topic Index so the index or "find" facility would probably be the best options.

To register please complete the client profile document and e-mail it back to angela.davies@mkcab.org.uk. You will then be issued with a user name and password to access the contents of this site.
