Frequently Asked Questions
HR support refers to expert guidance on employment law, workplace policy, people management, and conflict resolution. You need it if you’re managing employees, facing workplace disputes, want to ensure compliance with employment law, or need help navigating employment rights as an employee.
We offer strategic, board-level HR and employment law support, and mediation services for businesses. Employment law advice and mediation (workplace and civil/commercial) for individuals. We combine senior strategic expertise with affordability the advice is not cheap, but it is affordable strategic expertise. We do this without cutting quality.
We offer board level and senior-level expertise at a fraction of large firm costs. We’re not cut-price; we’re value-for-money. Our founder brings nearly 20 years of experience, professional credentials (FCIPD, LLM, MSc HRM, CMC, IMI), and specialisation in areas where SMEs most need help. We work collaboratively and speak in plain language, not jargon.
Yes. Affordable Support offers workplace mediation as part of wider HR, employee relations and workplace support for SMEs.
Absolutely. SMEs are our core focus. We understand the constraints of small team HR, tight budgets, limited dedicated HR staff, and the need for practical, proportionate solutions. Many of our clients operate with 5-50 employees.
We are already positioned as affordable, 25-35% below market rates offering board-level expertise. For certain circumstances (e.g., individuals facing financial hardship, social enterprises, charities), we are open to discussing options. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Yes. Most potential clients benefit from a brief initial conversation, either a phone call, virtual meeting, or email exchange—to clarify what you need and whether we are the right fit. This helps us give you an honest answer about whether we can help and what it might cost.
We work across sectors, but we focus on practical, sector-specific advice. If you’re in healthcare, hospitality, tech, finance, or social enterprise, we tailor guidance to your industry’s specific employment law changes, regulatory calendars, and pain points.
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a trained and accredited (by CMC and IMI), impartial third party helps people in conflict find their own solutions. It is faster, less stressful, and more relationship-preserving than formal grievance procedures or court. It is not about deciding who is right or wrong it is about finding a way forward.
Contact us via the website or phone for an initial consultation. We will discuss your situation, clarify what you need, and recommend the right service. The initial discussion is 20 minutes, and it is free, so you can understand how we work.
Our founder holds an LLM (Master of Laws), MSc in Human Resource Management, is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (FCIPD) and is a member of the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and Business Enterprise. With nearly 20 years’ experience, she brings both academic depth and real-world experience.
Yes. Our mediation services follow CMC (Civil Mediation Council) and IMI (International Mediation Institute) standards and our mediators hold appropriate accreditations and training in workplace, civil, and commercial mediation.
For civil and commercial mediation, we can operate internationally. However, employment law varies significantly by region. We operate with deep knowledge of UK employment law and specific regional variations. If your situation involves multi-jurisdictional employment law or you need advice on a specific location, we will advise on scope and might recommend specialist support where needed
Large firms often assign whoever is available next, not who is best for your issue. We offer board-level knowledge to assist with your matter irrespective the level. We also invest time in understanding your business culture and long-term goals, not just delivering a quick project. And you pay significantly less without sacrificing quality.
We draw on nearly 20 years’ of professional HR and employment law experience. We are not startup-level, we are experienced professionals choosing to work independently so we can offer better value to SMEs and individuals.
