In October new research was released that considers how Home Office delays put young unaccompanied asylum-seekers at risk of trafficking. Lawyers who are thinking about challenging delays by judicial review will find the report to be useful evidence.
On Tuesday 30 November from 5-6pm we will be holding an online seminar aimed at legal practitioners, with experts from MiCLU and Garden Court Chambers who will look at how the report can be potentially used in court.
The seminar will include the participation of young asylum-seekers from Shpresa Programme and will cover:
- An overview of the report findings
- Practical tips about how to use the report in submissions/court
- Strategy/tactics for the best prospects of the report underpinning delay challenges in specific cases or types of cases
The seminar is part of a wider project: Breaking the Chains, a partnership project dedicated to improving outcomes for Albanian children and young people seeking asylum in the UK.
This project works with children and young people in the asylum system, providing them with high quality casework while listening to and amplifying their voices to share our learning about how best to protect this vulnerable group. The project also offers a chance to think strategically about the issues faced by Albanian children and young people, and to harness their energy and talent to provide peer support within and across communities.
Joining instructions will be published on the online event page prior to the event and sent by email.
