    Situation

    The current Covid-19 crisis and Brexit have impacted refugees greatly. When the UK left the EU on 31 December 2020 it meant that children in dangerous situations in Europe lost a legal route to get somewhere safe in the UK to be with their family. The current legislation here is inadequate at giving children the protection they need. Without safe ways to get somewhere they can live with dignity, more children and people in vulnerable situations will be forced to take dangerous journeys.

    Solution

    Our expert lawyers take cases that aim to bring people from dangerous situations to safety. We go to Court when needed to ensure rights are upheld. We also campaign to urge the UK authorities to protect rights and we support groups in London and across the UK to work with their local councils to establish better protection for refugees. Finally, we provide expert training and advice to organisations supporting refugees, filling a vital gap between frontline workers and the legal system.
