🏡New asylum hotels blog: Food and conditions🍽️

We spoke to people living in hotels in the North West.

"All of them are fried food, frozen food. It’s not fresh."
"Same place – eat, and sleep, and remember, and study, and everything is in this room."

🔢We used a wide range of evidence, including our own case data, displayed here. The Home Office's own data shows a growing inability to make decisions. We also used information from our survey of legal practitioners and social workers, and from @LohstP's research.

[Law & Social Justice Research @LivUniLawSJ]

The impact of COVID-19 on children and young people seeking asylum in the UK is demonstrated by @LohstP's policy reports.

Current reports cover 'Mental Health' and 'Age Assessments'. The 'Delays' report will launch on 27 June 2023. ⤵️
