Advice & Useful Links for Tavistock

Government services for you and the Tavistock area

This is a low key website (boring to you and me) but it does have the vast proportion of Government services all in one place. Most will be accessible either by post or through a local office in Tavistock or with the Tavistock area - or certainly within Devon. (Cutbacks may have forced the closure some local offices so you may need to travel.)
  • Benefits - eligibility, appeals, tax credits plus Universal Credit
  • Births, deaths, marriages and care - Parenting, civil partnerships, divorce and Lasting Power of Attorney
  • Business and self-employed - Tools and guidance for businesses
  • Childcare and parenting - giving birth, fostering, adopting, benefits for children, childcare and schools
  • Citizenship and living in the UK - voting, community participation etc.
  • Crime, justice and the law - legal processes, courts and the police
  • Disabled people - carers, your rights, benefits and the Equality Act
  • Driving and transport - vehicle tax, MOT and driving licences
  • Education and learning - student loans, admissions and apprenticeships
  • Employing people - pay, contracts and hiring

  • Money and tax - debt and Self Assessment
