No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) Training

Newham is home to a number of migrant populations. They are not limited to: people seeking asylum who have been placed in hotel accommodation by the home office, refugees who have arrived via resettlement schemes from countries including Afghanistan and Ukraine, international students and their spouse who have come to the UK to study, and people who have applied for EU settled status. Each group has different rights and entitlements and it is therefore essential that frontline workers are fully informed about immigration issues so that they can feel empowered to know how best to support people particularly around access to services.

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
