Migration, refugee and Asylum Team at Newcastle City Council

Local Authority Asylum Seeker Liaison Officers (LAASLOs) support people through the asylum process. Contact them by email to make a referral. They work with you to create a support plan to help with:

• immigration issues
• learning English language
• accessing health and education services
• debt advice
• training and employment
• family reunification
• getting involved in your community: your rights and responsibilities, volunteering, and social and leisure activities
• the ‘move on’ process if you are granted refugee status or leave to remain
• advice and signposting if you are refused asylum

Children and young people can get educational psychology and intensive family support when in education from the KaleidRAScope project. Speak to your school to ask for this help.
