Breaking Language Barriers to Employment Justice
Empowering workers to understand their rights and speak up - in their own language
The Problem We Solve
Thousands of workers in the UK face workplace injustice but cannot access help because:
Language Barriers
They don't speak English well enough to understand complex employment law
Cost Barriers
Legal advice is expensive - often £200-500 per hour
Knowledge Barriers
They don't know their rights or how to take action
System Overload
Employment tribunals are overwhelmed with cases that could be resolved earlier
How We Help
A three-step approach to empower workers and improve the system
Learn in Your Language
Use our 24/7 AI assistant to understand UK employment law in Traditional Chinese, Polish, Romanian, Urdu, or English. No legal jargon - just clear explanations.
Generate Professional Documents
Create formal letters in English to send to your employer, ACAS, or tribunals. You understand your rights in your language, but communicate professionally in English.
Decide Your Next Steps
With knowledge and documents ready, you can choose: resolve it yourself, contact ACAS for free advice, or seek a solicitor for complex cases.
The Bigger Picture
How this helps everyone
✅ Workers Get Justice
Many workplace issues can be resolved with a well-written letter and knowledge of your rights. Workers don't need expensive lawyers for simple cases.
⚖️ Tribunals Focus on Real Cases
When workers understand their rights early, weak cases don't reach tribunals. This means courts can focus on genuine disputes that truly need legal resolution.
🤝 Employers Face Less Litigation
Many employers make mistakes out of ignorance, not malice. Clear communication often resolves issues before they escalate to legal action.
🌍 Fairer System for All
When language isn't a barrier, everyone - regardless of their English ability - can access justice. This makes the UK employment system fairer.
How It Works in Practice
Maria speaks Polish. Her employer owes her £800 in wages.
1. She asks our AI chat (in Polish): "What can I do about unpaid wages?"
2. She learns she has a legal right to payment and sees the steps.
3. She uses our letter generator to create a formal wage claim letter in English.
4. She sends the letter. Her employer pays within 2 weeks. No tribunal needed.
Ahmed speaks Urdu. He was dismissed after reporting safety issues.
1. He learns (in Urdu) that whistleblowing is protected by law.
2. He generates a grievance letter in English.
3. He realizes his case is serious and contacts ACAS for free mediation.
4. ACAS helps him settle. He gets compensation and reinstatement.
