Instead of searching for answers on the website, you might prefer to ask our AI powered Chat system (just click on the button on the bottom right of the screen that looks like the image to the left). You can ask it questions in plain English, and it will direct you to a relevant help page on our website. It can answer our most commonly asked questions and we are striving to improve it as time goes on.

Don’t worry, it is not there to try to “fob you off” – it is very good at answering common questions quickly and if it can’t, it will direct you how to get in touch.

Why not give it a go?
