Maternity Action will be running a webinar: Introduction to Home Office Support for asylum seekers and refused asylum seekers

This is an introductory webinar which is aimed as advisers with little of no knowledge of Home Office Support. This is for organisations outside of London particularly those working with migrant women who are pregnant or new mothers and who may be vulnerable due to persecution, violence or exploitation. There will be opportunities to ask questions and useful contacts and further information resources will be provided.

The webinar will be held on Tuesday, 17th of November 2-3 pm

Places are limited to 20 so please sign up asap as we expect places to be taken up quickly.

Our webinar will cover:

* An overview of Home Office support

*Who qualifies for support

* Section 95 for Asylum Seekers

* Section 4 support for some groups of refused asylum seekers

* Types of support provided

* Applying for support

* Ending of support

* Refusals and terminations of support

* List of useful r resources

We will be running a series of these webinars in the coming months so those who are unable to attend this one can attend at a later date.
