Our detailed practice guidance sets out the legislation and case law that councils need to be aware of when assessing and meeting the needs of adults with no recourse to public funds. The guidance focuses on how social care and immigration legislation must be applied in practice and, in the absence of statutory guidance that directs councils how to assist adults with no recourse to public funds, is an essential read for social workers and other practitioners who are working with this group.
Our guidance is written by members of our expert staff team and is informed by the experiences and learning shared by local authorities across the UK, our Steering Group and local government associations, as well as other stakeholders. Our current publications are freely available and are listed in this section.
