Asylum seekers support

Following changes in the law contained in the Immigration and Asylum Act of 1999, asylum seekers do not have a right to assistance and do not have to be provided for by the Council. Instead, the Home Office provides support through the National Asylum Support Service (NASS). For more information please see:

• Home Office Immigration and Nationality Directorate
• Asylum Aid
• Asylum Support   
• Refugee Council
