The National Intreo Contact Centre is the Department's response to the customers' need for a centralised point of contact. It has replaced all local lines and created a centralised streamlined point of contact for working age schemes with the intention of reducing footfall to INTREO offices. The NICC has approximately 98 staff with blended working arrangements. These staff answer calls for both the NICC and CWS helpline.
