Questions, answered.
The essentials, in brief. Full details are set out in the terms of service and privacy notice.
Yes. IN CONFIDENCE is independent of your employer and works only for you. Your information is not shared without your consent, except where disclosure is legally required or there is a serious and immediate risk of harm.
No. You get practical HR strategy and an employer-side perspective, not legal advice or representation. Where specialist legal advice is needed, this will be clearly signposted.
Yes. The Offer & Contract Review gives you an HR-focused review of the key employment terms, the questions to ask and your negotiation priorities. For formal legal advice or interpretation, consult a qualified employment lawyer.
No. IN CONFIDENCE advises you directly, so you can act with confidence yourself. We will not contact your employer or any third party unless you ask us to and consent in writing.
Potentially. Priority sessions can be booked at short notice, including the same day, wherever a time is shown as available. If you can’t see a time that works before your meeting, book the earliest one or get in touch.
If you need to understand your position and plan your next step, start with the HR Strategy Session. If a meeting, deadline or document is imminent, choose Priority Response. If you want written analysis or language to use, choose one of the written services.
Professional boundaries
Clear about what this is, and what it isn’t.
IN CONFIDENCE provides independent, strategic HR advice. It does not provide:
- Legal advice or representation
- Immigration advice
- Tax, pension, investment or financial advice
- Representation in disciplinary, grievance, tribunal or other legal proceedings
Where specialist input is needed, you will be signposted to an appropriate qualified professional. If a legal time limit may apply to your situation, speak promptly to an employment lawyer, union representative or recognised advice service. Read the terms
Start with one conversation.
You do not need to navigate an important employment decision alone, or make a rushed choice without understanding the context.
