NCADC in Belfast

We’d like to thank RAG for inviting us over to Belfast last week (Friday 14 June), where we ran a workshop on campaigning for justice in the asylum and immigration system. It was fantastically well-attended, and there were great contributions from everybody. It more than made up for Belfast on lock-down because of G8! From Refugee Action Group’s Facebook page: A very successful and well attended workshop yesterday at Shaftsbury Community and Recreation Centre as an event to get people in the mood for Refugee Week starting on Monday 17th June.

Further representations and fresh claims: call for evidence, and new toolkit section

NCADC is concerned about the very high rejection rates when individuals submit further representations after a refusal of their asylum or human rights applications. The rejection letters from UKBA will say that the further representations do not meet the legal test of paragraph 353 of the immigration rules and therefore do not constitute a fresh claim. We, along with other organisations, are compiling case studies of these refusals. We are seeking anecdotal evidence (or statistical evidence if you have it) of good quality further representations being rejected by UKBA, particularly if the decision is made within a matter of days of Read the full article…
