Making Sense of Asylum

The Asylum Process Explained

• Posted on Jun 15, 2007

The complex system governing the different ways in which persons seeking asylum in the UK from arrival to removal is explained in four new briefings by the Information Centre about Asylum & Refugees (ICAR).

ICAR's work is aimed at improving public understanding and debate about asylum and refugees and the organisation was commissioned by the Independent Asylum Commission (IAC) to provide it with background information about various aspects of asylum policy.

There are four briefings including a basic guide to the operation of the asylum process, the treatment of vulnerable groups, and the use of detention and removals.
