Significant events
- “In 2025, the Labour government repealed the Safety of Rwanda Act 2024 (SORA) and most of the Illegal Migration Act 2023, removing measures that would have denied people fleeing war, persecution, and human rights abuses the right to seek asylum and have their claims heard fairly.”
- “Following our successful challenge to short-notice evictions of refugees, we welcomed a one-year pilot extending the 'move-on' period to 56 days, giving newly recognised refugees more time to secure housing and income before asylum support ends.”
- “Sustained advocacy contributed to the closure of the Bibby Stockholm barge and Napier Barracks, improvements at RAF Wethersfield, and a reduction in hotel use. We continue to call for an end to all large-site accommodation.”
- “In 2025, we brought a joint legal challenge with Freedom from Torture against changes to the Allocation of Asylum Accommodation policy, presenting evidence that these changes would increase the number of survivors placed in unsuitable and harmful housing.”
