2 April 2025: Migrants Organise: Threadbare: The Quality of Legal Aid
Report Summary:
This report investigates and analyses observations of a decline in ‘good-quality’, reliable legal aid services for people who are navigating the UK’s immigration and asylum systems – that is, in the quality of immigration legal aid provision. The decline in the number and capacity of legal aid providers is well documented, but the impact of this – as well as of other immigration and legal aid policy and legislative changes – on the quality of service
available to individuals in recent years has not been so well explored.
