THREAD: An incredibly important legal challenge which draws attention to the way the Home Office views charities who have contracts with them and manipulates data-sharing. The entire reason why a firewall is needed between HO and all services. theguardian.com/global-develop…

We've received more referrals in the past 3 weeks than we did in the 6 months before #lockdown. Many of these people are the #keyworkers we clap for. Many are without food for the week. This is so cruel. Suspend #NRPF now!

@educationgovuk Why is the income threshold so much lower for families with #NRPF than for others? Why does the extension exclude children from undocumented families not receiving s4 or s17 support? Why is the extension to the free school meals eligibility criteria temporary? /2


Count Darchi reposted

During Covid-19 some children from families with no recourse to public funds can access #FreeSchoolMeals but only if their household income is below the tiny amount of £616 a month. This is discriminatory /1 gov.uk/government/pub…

Today we release our report ‘Children with No Recourse to Public Funds: The need for free school meals’. It shares our experience advocating for destitute children that are denied free school meals because of their family’s immigration status: hackneymigrantcentre.org.uk/children-with-… /1

❌ Gov homelessness helpline didn't return his calls. ❌ Outreach worker told him no available accommodation. ❌ Council refused support because of his immigration status. He was finally given a hotel room only thanks to the work of @HackneyMigrants. libertyinvestigates.org.uk/articles/homel…

We’re urgently trying to find accommodation for a man who has spent the last few days sleeping on buses and has COVID-19 symptoms. Despite being seen sleeping on a bus by a @ThamesReach outreach team a few nights ago, he was told there is no space in any accommodation for him /1

Hi, police - immigration officials are *still* putting single asylum-seekers in shared sleeping rooms, while hotels stand empty. Could you go round and have a word?


Someone should make a TV programme of the crap we don't miss from everyday life. Crowded buses, lengthy waits at bars, queueing at tills, shouting to make yourself heard, squeezing into the last vacant spot on a rush hour train. I'd watch the shit out of that.

Portuguese government has decreed that ALL asylum seekers and ALL undocumented migrants with pending applications for residence are AUTOMATICALLY granted and may access ALL STATE PROVISION including healthcare and benefits. I'm going to faint. publico.pt/2020/03/28/soc…

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, healthcare and welfare provision must be made available to everyone, regardless of their immigration status. Read our piece for Novara: novaramedia.com/2020/03/27/und…

The Home Office commenting on @DetentionAction's tweet yesterday. MANY reports have shown that the "welfare of detainees" is not a priority for the @ukhomeoffice (1):

This is misleading. The welfare of detainees & staff is our utmost priority. That is why we have taken proactive measures to protect detainees against coronavirus since the pandemic started. (1/3)
