Submission to Ministry of Justice Review of Civil Legal Aid

Asylum Aid provides legal advice and representation to some of the most vulnerable people seeking asylum. We have built an expert service, delivering vital and life-saving services in some of the most complex legal cases, with a particular specialty working with survivors of trafficking, torture or other forms of human cruelty, unaccompanied minors and stateless people.

Asylum Aid is regulated by the OISC at Level 3 in asylum and protection and immigration. Our casework service is provided by OISC registered advisers and solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. All caseworkers are accredited under the Law Society’s Immigration and Asylum Accreditation Scheme and we hold the Lexcel quality mark. We hold legal aid contracts in immigration and asylum and public law. 

This evidence is focused on immigration and asylum legal aid and outlines the key changes needed to ensure people seeking asylum can access quality legal advice and representation.
