Training for Councils - No Recourse to Public Funds
posted: 21/12/2009
A full day's training for councils on their legal duties to support people and families with ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF) is provided by the NRPF Network along with London’s Islington Council. A significant number of migrants with HIV in NW England are subject to the No Recourse to Public Funds rules. Some NW England councils apply the rules very harshly or refuse to even accept they have any legal duty to assess people or help. Other councils do their duty well.
The training
- focuses on good practice in assessing and supporting people with NRPF
- provides an overview of relevant legislation and case-law and
- invites participants to explore other factors to be considered where immigration status impacts on entitlements to services in the UK.
Since April 2009, there have been 17 of these sessions for councils and voluntary sector organisations across the UK and the feedback is very positive.
The full details of the training days are on the NRPF microsite and any requests or enquiries can be made by email
In NW England councils vary widely in how well they perform meet their legal duties towards people with HIV under these rules.
