Best Practices

  • Be specific about opening hours and time zones
  • Set clear expectations for response times
  • Provide a reference number if the user has one
  • Tell users what information they'll need before calling
  • Mention any costs (e.g., "Calls cost..." or "Freephone")

Information Users Might Need

Have your reference number ready. You'll find this in the email we sent you when you started your application.
