Online

As part of Project 17's training series in collaboration with United Impact, we are excited to invite you to our upcoming free session.

This training is ideal for professionals who regularly make Section 17 referrals or work with individuals receiving Section 17 support. Please note, there will be only a brief overview of Section 17, so it’s best suited for those already familiar with the topic.

The session will explore:

  • About Project 17 and United Impact
  • Understanding NRPF and section 17: a quick refresher
  • Exclusions to section 17
  • Risks and barriers to accessing support
  • ‘Gatekeeping’
  • The impact on families

Our training centres the principles of anti-racism and anti-oppression. We provide legal, technical and practical information to help participants work more effectively with families with NRPF. We also discuss the political and historical context of NRPF and the wider immigration system.

This training is for advisers and professionals working with families in England.
