*PLEASE NOTE: If you're making a complaint about the press or police on grounds of race or ethnicity, it's advisable that you send copies to the relevant press and police bodies above, and that you first contact a solicitor or Liberty (see below) if your complaint involves police misconduct. You can claim Legal Aid if on State Benefits. You can otherwise apply for Legal Aid if your income is below £2250 per month. It will then be decided upon by your disposable income.
