Have your say on the new Home Office plans to take a wrecking ball to the asylum process

The Home Office has announced proposed legislation for fundamental changes in immigration and asylum law. There is widespread concern that the proposals will in effect remove the right to asylum for a majority of those seeking it, ultimately calling into question our country&#x27;s legal commitment to the Geneva Refugee Convention. People will be detained for long periods in what will amount to refugee camps, and many would be denied any chance to apply for asylum at all, no matter the strength of their claim to it.
The Home Office has published a CONSULTATION document on these plans, which closes on 6th May.
Many refugee and immigration support organisations are responding in their respective groups, while individuals may also respond to a specific individual version of the consultation.
Hastings Community of Sanctuary is hosting a ZOOM CONSULTATION EVENT where we will work through the consultation document enabling each participant to respond to relevant questions. Careful and clear guidance will be provided to facilitate this, and the process is anticipated to take one hour. 
We believe that individual responses have a vital part to play in conveying general public concern about the proposals being put forward by the Government. You can read more about these here: https://care4calais.org/far-from-fair/
