Policy and campaigns Our work to create a safe and welcoming Scotland for everyone. About our policy & research work We work hard to challenge injustice in the asylum system and in wider society, so that everyone in need of refugee protection can rebuild their lives here with dignity. Fair Begins Here Alongside Together With Refugees, we are campaigning for a fair and efficient asylum system that works for everyone. Move-on period should be extended to 56 days Extending the move-on period would give people the time they need to begin to rebuild their lives in here in safety. Destitution Forced destitution puts people’s lives at risk and is an affront to human dignity. We are pushing for radical change to this Home Office policy. Rwanda We are deeply concerned to see the progression of the Rwanda Bill in the UK parliament. We urge the House to oppose the Bill at every stage. Family reunion Unfair Home Office rules are tearing mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters apart. We need to change this. No family should be forced to live apart. Trafficking Human Trafficking is a serious form of abuse perpetrated against an individual, in which an individual has been exploited, or there is an intention to exploit them Asylum accommodation We all need a home. Safe and appropriate accommodation is a priority for people in the asylum system and a priority for our work. Right to work People seeking refugee protection have skills, talents & professional expertise. But the UK government bans people from working while waiting for asylum decisions.
