- Key Issues in Asylum & Asylum Support - 20th November
Working with asylum seekers and refugees requires an understanding of some key issues. Asylum and immigration legislation and policy are characterised by frequent changes which can make it difficult for practitioners to keep up-to-date and offer accurate advice and most effective practice.
This course will provide an overview of some key structures in the asylum system (including determination and support) in order to support delegates' understanding of asylum issues.
By completing this one-day course, delegates will have a basic understanding of:
. The distinction between refugees, asylum seekers and other migrant groups
. The current international context of asylum and the causes of flight
. The current legislative structure including updates on the Immigration Act 2014 and legal aid changes
. The asylum determination process including the appeal process
. Support provision under current legislation
. Possible implications of future legislative changes

- End of Process: Support for asylum seekers who have been refused asylum - 27th November
End of Process is the term used to describe the situation for those asylum seekers who have been refused asylum and have exhausted all appeal rights. UK policy states that when someone is in this position they are no longer entitled to many services and support, including asylum support. For many asylum seekers at the end of the process who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country, this means that they become destitute. For those working in the voluntary and statutory sector, knowing how and when they are able to support asylum seekers at the end of process is a challenge. Service providers often hear conflicting messages and myths, and can struggle to ensure they are up to date with the continual changes to policy and procedures to support entitlements and legal options.
On completing this course, participants will be able to:
. Clarify some misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding 'categories' of refugee and asylum seekers
. Identify the processes of making a further representation and a fresh asylum claim
. Define the eligibility criteria and entitlements under Section 4 support
. Recognise who is eligible for community care support
. Discern when different client groups are entitled to healthcare and employment
