Hi there!

I hope you're well! 

We're sticking with our training courses on Zoom for the time being and hoping that we'll be able to see people face-to-face later in 2021-22. We'd love you to join in, learn and share your knowledge with colleagues from around the country.  


Our Migrants Rights courses are running on Zoom as two and a half hour sessions. The closure of the EU Settlement Scheme at the end of June will make the situation more complex for EEA nationals, as well as adding some of them to the No Recourse to Public Funds category.  The "new immigration plan" proposes big changes, mostly for the worse, for asylum seekers and refugees, making their lives in the UK less secure and access to public funds more challenging for many. 

With the end of the "grace period", and continuing uncertainty over rights of people with pre-settled status, understanding access to social security and housing will be more difficult again for many EEA nationals and those providing support and services - our "Rights and Entitlements of EEA Nationals" session is fully updated with the latest important case-law.

Ensuring people going through the asylum system are offered support and access to services has never been as vital as it will be over the coming months and years.Our "Rights of Refugees and Asylum Seekers" session gives you an overview of the asylum process and insights into the pressures of going through a system designed to isolate and marginalise.  

With the end of lockdown and Covid restrictions likely over the summer, accommodation for people with no recourse to public funds will stop, leaving many people vulnerable to total destitution. Our "No Recourse to Public Funds" session helps you recognise people's status and understand what assistance is available when public funds aren't. 

Our Equality and Diversity courses are running as four hour in-house sessions on Zoom, split into two parts on consecutive afternoons. Full of challenging ideas, brilliant insights and useful information, they are highly participative and can change the way you think about equality and diversity personally and as a business.  There are four flavours, all will leave you wanting to find out more:
  • Equality and Diversity in Service Delivery
  • Equality and Diversity in the Workplace
  • Interpreting Culture
  • Communicating Through Interpreters
