General enquiry numbers may not be the same as visit booking lines. Some institutions route mail, legal correspondence, and family enquiries through different desks.
Post can be delayed by screening. If you are sending items, use only approved categories; prohibited articles cause returns or disposal.
Email and web forms are increasingly common, but not universal. Where only post is listed, allow processing time and keep copies of anything time-sensitive.
