Campaigns

Our campaigning sits at the intersection of social work practice and immigration and asylum policy. In recent years, a series of legislative changes have intensified the UK’s ‘hostile environment’ strategy, embedding border controls into nearly every aspect of daily life, including into social work practice. As a social work led charity we are increasingly concerned about the way the language of ‘safeguarding’ is used to justify harmful, punitive immigration measures.

We use our professional expertise, values and ethics to strive for a world where people have fair and equal treatment regardless of their immigration status. We believe social workers should be allies in the movement for migration justice. We mobilise social workers to come together, organise, resist, and make change.
