Right to Remain: Knowledge is Power; Evidence in asylum and immigration cases

Right to Remain has been exploring how to support people who may need to prepare for and attend an asylum appeal without legal representation. Through its Knowledge is Power sessions, the organisation has been sharing practical guidance for people seeking asylum and those supporting them. A recent Radical Solidarity Hub session also provided an opportunity to reflect on learning from these sessions and gather feedback from participants.

This training is particularly relevant for anyone working with or supporting people navigating the asylum system and seeking to better understand the challenges faced during the appeals process.
