Know your travel rights

Don’t end up out of pocket. Restrictions regarding travel may be in place for some time and it is an individual’s responsibility to ensure they are aware of the regulations in place, including insurance.

Money guidance

Don’t be afraid to ask for support in these times. From day to day money management to struggling with debt, there are many free services available including Government funded advice.

Online games and gambling are easy to access and can be tempting when the boredom hits, however, without knowing this can easily rack up debts. Play free games or put limits on monthly spending.
