Overview

The new Labour government aims to reform the points-based immigration system to be fair and properly managed, but is this enough to address the urgent challenges confronting asylum seekers and refugees?

The Illegal Migration Bill of 2023 has redefined the position of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK, compelling local authorities and lobbyists to aid and protect these individuals from unfair removal.

Recent scrutiny has cast doubt on the legality of proposed UK asylum legislation, alleging violations of certain provisions of the UK Human Rights Act. Moreover, the Home Office grapples with significant challenges in addressing backlogs within the asylum system, leaving tens of thousands of individuals in a state of uncertainty and placing a substantial burden on taxpayer resources. Even upon receiving refugee status, asylum seekers encounter persistent challenges, such as navigating employment hurdles, acquiring housing that is fit for purpose, and requiring assistance with societal integration.

The Institute of Government & Public Policy has earned a reputation for delivering insightful and thought-provoking home affairs and justice conferences. Feedback from previous events on Safeguarding Refugees and Asylum Seekers has been overwhelmingly positive. Attendees praised the engaging speakers and informative sessions, solidifying the conference's reputation for delivering valuable insights.

Join us at the Future of Immigration Conference 2024, where leading industry experts and thought leaders will delve into essential themes of partnership, collaboration, and promoting integration and social inclusion among refugees and asylum seekers in the UK. Attendees will gain valuable insights into national policy updates and programmes and explore practical multi-agency approaches to tackle the unique challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers.
