Caseworker Guides from w4mp and the Library

Standard
  • Has a constituent asked you for legal advice?
  • Is a local resident pushing for your MP to help them find housing?
  • Are you feeling pressure to give immigration advice?

The House of Commons Library and w4mp have published two new guides to casework to help you and your office handle questions, casework and conversations with constituents.

Find out what MPs offices can and can’t help with, explore casework resources, get information for constituents and discover how to navigate the grey areas.

You can find the Library Guide on their website, with further resources on Parlinet including a link to the w4mp guide.

MPs’ Staff Survey of Well-being 2026

CLOSING TODAY!

The Wellness Working Group undertakes an anonymous survey of MPs staff to better understand the pressures and effects that our jobs have on our wellbeing.  We are delighted that Dr Weinberg from Salford University has agreed to run the survey again for us this year.  The survey is completely anonymous and a chance to be able to help us enact change and to help us all obtain better work places and practices.

Please click here to complete the survey.
