1. This is guidance — and only ever guidance

Everything produced by ukworkrights.co.uk is general guidance. It is not legal advice. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified solicitor. Never treat it as the final word — use it as a starting point, then check and take responsibility for any action you take.

2. AI can make mistakes

The guidance is generated by artificial intelligence. AI can and does make mistakes — wrong dates, wrong figures, wrong legal references, missed nuances. Read everything carefully. If the matter is serious, get it checked by ACAS, Citizens Advice, or a qualified solicitor before acting on it.

3. Verified figures and guidance sources

Statutory figures (such as rates for minimum wage, SSP, redundancy, pension contributions, council tax bands, flight compensation amounts, and benefit rates) are verified against GOV.UK, ACAS, Citizens Advice, and relevant regulatory bodies. Laws and rates change regularly. Always verify important figures at gov.uk before making decisions or taking action.

4. What happens to what you type

The situation you describe is sent to Anthropic, the provider of the AI model that writes your guidance. Anthropic is based in the United States, so your text is transferred outside the UK under the safeguards set out in our Privacy Policy. Anthropic acts on our instructions and does not use your text to train its models. It deletes the text automatically within 30 days, unless its safety systems flag it for possible misuse, in which case it can be kept for up to 2 years. We do not store the text you type once your session ends. The report written for you is kept for up to 90 days so we can check its accuracy — it carries no name or email address, but it may repeat details of your situation.

Because you describe your own situation in your own words, what you type may include information that data protection law treats as especially sensitive — for example health, disability, mental health, pregnancy, race, religion, sexual orientation, trade union membership, or criminal convictions and allegations. By ticking the box below you are giving your explicit consent to that information being processed in this way. You can withdraw at any time by not submitting a check.

Please do not include your name, address, or anyone else’s personal details. The checkers do not need them, and leaving them out protects you. Your report is written in neutral, plain English rather than repeating informal language, slang or strong emotion from your description.

7. Scope of this service

This service covers a wide range of UK rights topics including employment, housing, benefits, consumer rights, driving, NHS complaints, data protection, tax, school rights, wills and probate, energy, travel, and more. For all topics, the guidance is general in nature. For regulated activities — including personal injury claims, immigration applications, criminal defence, and financial advice — you must use a regulated professional.

The law is not the same across the UK. England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland differ — sometimes substantially — on housing, tribunals, employment procedure, benefits, education, and wills and probate. Your guidance is tailored to the nation you selected at the top of the page, so please make sure it is right before you rely on the answer. If you live in one nation and the matter arose in another, say so in your description. Where a rule applies in only part of the UK, the guidance should say so — if it does not, treat that as a reason to check with one of the services listed above.
