A specialist help line has been set up on 0845 605 6002.

Individuals will be able to talk to an advisor about anything from redundancy to childcare costs, help with a tax credits claims or help with re-training.
Small businesses can also get help on making sure they have access to business support services, training or coping with reduced hours of work. Individual appointments in the workplace or at home can be arranged.
