Frontline Network Launches Brand New Forum Event on No Recourse to Public Funds
Frontline Network Launches Brand New Forum Event on No Recourse to Public Funds
Thursday, June 25, 2020
As authorities consider transitional arrangements for those currently in temporary hotel accommodation, the issue of supporting migrants with no recourse to public funds is a vital one.
On Wednesday 1st July, between 2-4pm, the Pan-London Migrant Frontline Network is holding a brand new Q&A Forum Event for frontline workers on this important topic.
At this event, you can ask Bethan Lant (Coordinator of the Pan-London Frontline Network) any questions you may have about accessing support for Migrants with No Recourse to Public Funds.
Are you a Frontline Worker with expertise in Migrant Homelessness? If so, please attend this event and share your expert insights on supporting NRPF Migrants at present, by uploading key guidance and solutions within the Forum Event's NRPF thread.
Anyone who is a frontline worker supporting people experiencing homelessness can attend this event. Please share this vital Forum Event, so that frontline workers can register to the event, and join the conversation
C-19 Frontline Worker Support Forum
The C-19 Frontline Worker Support Forum is a space dedicated to sharing frontline worker information, guidance and solutions relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on frontline workers.
Anyone who is a frontline worker supporting people experiencing homelessness can utilise this vital resource. Create a thread, or submit a comment, and start a conversation today!
