If you are liable to detention and deportation - you must

If someone you know is facing imminent deportation, go straight to:
'Last resort - pass the removal date'


If you are liable to detention and deportation - you must at all times carry the following information on your person

Full name

Date of birth

Home Office Reference number

Home Office Port Reference number

Same details for any family members

Phone number of your:

Solicitor including their emergency number

Your MP including their emergency number

Your doctor (if there are any persistent medical problems with any member of your family or yourself)

Numbers of any friends/support group/campaign group

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You Must have a file containing all your *legal documents and left next to your front door if in stable accommodation. (If a 'snatch squad' invades your home you will be able to insist that they let you take the file.)

A copy of this file should be left with some one who is not liable to detention and is easy to contact. If detained you can phone this person and ask them to make copies and post them to yourself and others.

If homeless you must carry this file at all times.

*Documents issued by the Home Office regarding your case are your property and you are entitled to have them. If the Home Office send documents to your solicitor they are still your property; insist that the solicitor gives you copies of all correspondence from the Home Office, do not take no for an answer.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

If you are reporting 'You must' inform someone you are going to sign and give them a deadline for a return call saying you have not been detained. (Best practice: someone should accompany you.)

This person should have all your details and if doesn't hear from you they should contact reporting centre/police station to find out if you have been detained.

If detained at the first opportunity ring your solicitor if you have one, your friend/supporters.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Supporters of persons liable to detention/deportation

If someone you are supporting is detained either at a reporting centre or police station, it is unlikely that you will be able to speak to him or her.

However those detained at reporting centres or police stations are usually transferred to detention centres before removal and you can ring them there.

Last resort - pass the removal date

If someone you know is being put on a plane today/tomorrow, NCADC might be able to provide practical advice as to what can be done to buy some time.

We will need the following information on the family/individual:

You will have to email the details to ncadc@ncadc.org.uk and follow up with a phone call to 0121 554 6947.

All the questions must be answered

Full address of where the person is detained

Their detention phone number

Their detention mobile number

Have removal directions been set, if yes,

Date,

Time,

Airline,

Is the head of the family is the main/sole claimant:

Full name:

Date of birth:

Gender:

Nationality:

Ethnicity if relevant:

Date they arrived in the UK:

Date they claimed asylum:

Religion if relevant:

Sexual orientation if relevant

Medical problems if relevant

Home Office references number/s

(name/date of birth, of any dependents, who are part of the claim)

If other members of the family have claims in their own right, please say who.

Where they lived in the UK before being detained, (full postal address and post code)

Has the person a solicitor, if yes, name, address, what are they doing

Has the persons MP been informed

Very Important: If the asylum claim has been refused, NCADC need to see a copy of the Home Office 'Letter of Refusal' also called the 'determination', this is the document refusing asylum.

We must insist that the Home Office letter of refusal is sent to NCADC in PDF format. All modern computers have the facility to scan in documents and convert them into PDF's, we will no longer accept multiple Jpegs/tiffs of documents.

(NCADC will not be able to offer 'Signposting' until we have sight of this document.) Please take note the document will be 'securely destroyed' after three weeks, so make sure that you only send a copy.
