Helping International Recruitments who have no work, or support system

To try and clarify what support the local authority can give.

1. For families with children, Local Authorities (LAs) have responsibilities under Children legislation and they should approach their local authority
2. For adults LAs have limited powers under the Human Rights Act – as they have to meet the need for Care and Support (under the Care Act) ie those with care and support needs who, without support, would experience a breach of their human rights- anything else is prohibited by s21 Care Act).  But they may be able to make local referrals to support organisations.
3. The Home Office have a key role to play in supporting those who have been exploited but we understand this is not always the route they wish to take.
4. Lastly – some places to seek advice …..
   1. Turn 2 Us – is a charity search service where people can find support charities near them or where they might meet the charities criteria to assist Tackling Financial Insecurity Together | Turn2us
   2. The Care Workers Charity – Crisis Grant – The Care Workers Charity but their Cris Fund closes when they have issued this months allowance….
   3. This is the web page for the Shelter where they set out what help might be available.  Claiming benefits if you have no recourse to public funds – Shelter England this page also sets out where people might get more specialist advice on immigration from.
