Section 17: Ensuring suitable and appropriate support

This training is ideal for professionals involved in making Section 17 referrals, working with families who need Section 17 support, or challenging refusals. It provides you with the knowledge and tools to ensure families receive the support they are entitled to, and to effectively advocate when support is inadequate. Please note, there will be only a brief overview of Section 17, so it’s best suited for those already familiar with the topic.

The session will explore:

• About Project 17 and United Impact
• NRPF and section 17 refresher
• Unsuitable section 17 support – accommodation and subsistence
• Reviewing support and challenging decisions

Our training centres the principles of anti-racism and anti-oppression. We provide legal, technical and practical information to help participants work more effectively with families with NRPF. We also discuss the political and historical context of NRPF and the wider immigration system.

This training is for advisers and professionals working with families in England.
