Migrants or UK-born children with unresolved immigration status may encounter all sorts of difficulties when they grow up, from being unable to access higher education and healthcare to obstacles when opening bank accounts and applying for jobs. When they turn 18 years old, they could also be at risk of deportation to a country they may never have visited
Fortunately, however, there is a growing national pro bono movement addressing this issue―and you may be able to help.
Retired judge Keith Wilding writes in NLJ this week about Kids in Need of Defense UK (KIND UK), a collaboration of organisations across the UK that specialise in children’s immigration and asylum law.
KIND UK is politically neutral and works in partnership with lawyers working pro bono. Find out more at: www.kidsinneedofdefense.org.uk.
