Welcome to the AS website

I am delighted to welcome you to the Asylum Support Advisor's website and trust that you will find the contents interesting and helpful.

Several criteria will be assessed upon application or assistance for Asylum Support which will include a variety of different tests. Background information and birth records as well as an english language school test to assesses you English language skills. Improvement or assistance can be provided in this area. More information can be provided upon request for UK english learning centres and schools.

Asylum is the protection that is granted by a country to an individual/s that are facing persecution in their own country. This legislation along with security benefits such as Automatic Electric Gates are a protective measure which ensures that people genuinely seeking asylum are protected from the treatment they may have faced in their own country.

It’s important for individuals granted asylum in the UK to integrate into society i.e. finding employment. A keyholding company among other businesses can provide job opportunities for people granted asylum and other British citizens.

The Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 established new support arrangements for asylum seekers and their dependants.

The National Asylum Support Service (NASS), consider whether an applicant and their dependants meet the test of destitution as set out in the legislation and then to what extent support should be provided. If NASS refuse to provide support or, after they have been providing support, NASS decide to stop or withdraw it, an asylum seeker can appeal against their decision.

The Asylum Support will consider any subsequent appeal.

This site provides information about the service we provide and the legislative framework we work within. You will be able to access information about who we are and what we do as well as all our decisions. The News Section is regularly updated with details of new developments and information about the AS User Group.
