Awareness Week 20th-26th March 2023
It’s CAB Awareness Week (20-26 March) and we are celebrating diversity and multiculturalism.
One aspect of this is making sure that language is not a barrier to getting the information and advice
you need. Citizens Advice Bureau can help you in your language, whether this is Hindi, French,
Mandarin, Bahasa, Yoruba, Punjabi, Samoan, Tagalog or something else.
Call us on 0800 367 222 or visit your local CAB and let us know what language speaker you require.
We will connect you up with one of our multi-lingual CAB volunteers or access a trained interpreter
to ensure you get the information and advice you need.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
