Access to immigration legal services: our experiences

Senedd Event 10 October, 12-1:30pm

Immigration legal services in Wales are in short supply and declining rapidly. A recent Bevan Foundation briefing shows that in little over five years, Wales has lost 60% per cent of offices providing immigration legal aid. This raises serious concerns for social justice and equality in Wales. 

The Bevan Foundation, working with frontline partners, has carried out over 65 in-depth interviews and group discussions with people who have moved to Wales from abroad. The findings give a stark picture of the challenges faced by people within the immigration and asylum systems and their concerns. 

We have supported our Experts by Experience working group to review the research findings and develop their own recommendations for improving access to justice for people seeking sanctuary in Wales. The group will be presenting their findings at a Senedd event on 10 October 2024, where there will be the opportunity to join them in discussion as they share their insights. 

Attendance is free.
