This week the Government changed the lockdown rules. But the messaging on what we can and can’t do is even more confusing than before. And the amount of money you can be fined for getting it wrong has increased.

There have been countless stories of heavy-handed policing in recent weeks. At a time of severe anxiety for all of us, we need to be certain what the laws and regulations say – and what our rights are.

If you shared this information when we asked last week – thank you. Please do share this update too. It’s crucial our explainers and advice reach as many people as possible.

The advice and information hub provides simple, accurate explainers covering:

the new rules
when we can leave home
what the police can do
what you can do if you’re stopped by the police
what you can do if you’re unhappy with the way the police have treated you.

It also provides guidance on how to make a complaint and find a lawyer if you need one.

The hub is regularly updated to keep up with any changes, so check back regularly.
