This session will cover:
- People seeking asylum or refugee – what’s the difference?
- An overview of the asylum system and what is referred to as the hostile environment.
- Asylum support – what is it, what seeking asylum people are entitled to receive and how should they access it?
- Other important entitlements, access to health services, enrolment into schools and further education
- Where can you find assistance for people seeking asylum

Homelessness, or the threat of homelessness, continues to be an issue that affect many of our service users. In an area like Newham, where demand is high and accessing housing often comes with barriers, the solutions can sometimes seem complex. The session is intended to help identify these obstacles and how to overcome them. Homelessness can be resolved, but will only be achieved by building stronger partnerships and understanding the landscape in which we operate.
