Safe Passage

Our UK team works to safely reunite child refugees with their families in the UK. 

We specialise in providing free advice and representation to unaccompanied refugee children and separated families in family reunion applications under the Immigration Rules or outside the Rules based on human rights.

In particular, our team will: 

• Advise the child and their family about making an application for entry clearance to the UK

• Advise on the eligibility requirements, time-frames and evidence necessary for applying

• Prepare witness statements with the child, UK-based family members and other relevant parties

• Collect necessary evidence for the application, including expert reports when relevant

• Complete the online application form and any necessary paper forms 

• Monitor the decision-making process of the Home Office and help challenge any unreasonable delays.  

If the application is unsuccessful, our team will: 

• Advise on challenging the Home Office refusal decision in the First Tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chambers)

• Explain the timeframe and process of an appeal procedure in the UK

• Occasionally represent the child and their family members in the appeal process, alongside a UK barrister

• If the team is unable to represent the child in the appeal process, we will promptly refer them to external immigration lawyers for representation.
