Refugee Action - Centring Lived Experience
A new intensive support model to help lived experience-led organisations deliver immigration advice by getting registered with the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) (formerly known as the OISC).
Close support for 6-8 grass-roots organisations led by people with lived-experience of migration to grow their service by delivering legal, immigration advice to their clients is now available, free-of-charge, through the Frontline Immigration Advice Project (FIAP).
Service involves:
• One-to-one needs assessments and regular support to help you to get IAA (OISC) registered and/or to raise your levels (for 6 - 8 organisations)
A study group for people with lived experience of migration and second-tier support
Membership of a Centering Lived Experience Co-Design Advisory panel to help shape the project
• Opportunity to become a Refugee Action Volunteer, if you wish, after 6 months of active commitment to the project
A quarterly Lived Experience Immigration Advice Partnership group
