HIV and Immigration Conference
posted: 28/10/2010
George House Trust invites professionals to our 26 November conference on Working with HIV positive people subject to immigration controls. This is on Friday 26th November 9.30am - 4.30pm at George House Trust, Manchester.
The frequent changes to asylum legislation and policy make it difficult to keep on top of the issues and offer your clients the best advice or most effective practice.
Living with HIV adds a further layer of complexity to immigration and asylum applications and appeals. Those living inside the immigration and asylum system are confronted with issues such as poor housing, poverty, alienation and fear.
Creative Solutions
The aim of this day is to
- demystify terminology and systems
- to equip workers with a working understanding of the systems and legislation
- share approaches that effectively support this client group
- suggest creative solutions for professionals to adopt.
Speakers include:
- Ruth Heatley, Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit - The Asylum Process; Application and Support Systems
- Daniel Murphy – George House Trust Service and Development Manager - HIV and Immigration, including Migrants' Rights to HIV Treatment
