Training

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Project 17 are delighted to announce a new training series in collaboration with United Impact.

United Impact are a group of around sixty people with personal experience of no recourse to public funds. Their aim is to raise awareness of the extremely difficult conditions that families with NRPF are forced to endure. The group works with decision makers, local authorities, and campaigners to challenge NRPF and fight for equal rights for all families in the UK.

Over the coming months, we will be hosting a series of expert-led training sessions designed to deepen understanding, provide practical tools, and empower professionals working with families affected by NRPF:

  • NRPF: From Political Context to Personal Impact
  • Section 17: Effective Referrals and Assessments
  • Section 17: Understanding the Legal Framework
  • Exclusions, Risks, and Barriers to Section 17 Support
  • Section 17 Suitability: Ensuring Appropriate Support
  • The border violence of NRPF and ideas for navigating it

If you'd like a monthly update on our upcoming sessions, you can sign up here.
