No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) Training

Over one third of Newham residents have applied for EU settled status in the past two years, with many still needing to complete their applications; The home office regularly places asylum seeking residents into the borough; and, there is an historical range of other residents all with unsettled immigration status. Each group of residents however has a range of rights and entitlements and it is therefore essential that frontline workers are fully informed about immigration issues as they go about their day to day work.

There are a range of sessions for you and we recommend that if possible you attend the Working with Migrants - Bitesize session first.

It is estimated that there are over 10,000 residents in Newham with NRPF. This may include up to 4000 children and young people. These residents may be some of our most vulnerable facing challenges around employment and basic necessities. This course will provide you with the essential context and knowledge you will need when working with clients with NRPF.

This session will cover:

• What do we mean by NRPF? What are public funds?
• Who is impacted by NRPF
• Moving from no recourse to recourse – Changes of conditions
• What services can be accessed and in what circumstances
