Your Agreement with PFC's Trans Equality Project       

 

In order to provide clients with the best possible advice and representation and to safeguard the reputation of our organisation it is essential that we are furnished with a completely honest, true and accurate account of all circumstances relating to your case.

Experience has taught us that it is common for people to omit certain information thinking it either irrelevant, unimportant or are concerned that it will reflect badly on them. It does not matter how insignificant you consider the information to be; it may prove vital.

We need to be aware of anything you have done which was inappropriate, incorrect, in anger, or contrary to your employer's or service provider's policies, regardless of the impact you think that it will have on your case.

Our experience has shown that everything always comes out in the end, but if we are fully furnished with the facts in advance we can advise & prepare accordingly.

PFC and the TransEquality Project reserve the right to withdraw services at any point if we have reason to believe that a client has been dishonest or has withheld information that they could have reasonably known would affect the outcome of their case.
