Detained Asylum Seekers
Detained Asylum Seekers
It is possible that you will be held in a detention centre while the authorities process your application for asylum.
You could be detained at any time during your claim, but there are several points in the asylum process when it can be more likely to happen.
The Home Office may detain you after you claim asylum, if they say that they are considering whether your asylum claim is “inadmissible”. This has been in effect since January 2021.
You may also be detained if the Home Office says your asylum claim is refused or if the Home Office thinks that you claim could be decided swiftly. You would then be entered into a process called “Detained Asylum Casework” (DAC).
If you are a detained asylum seeker you may be entitled to Legal Aid funding of your case. Our immigration solicitors will be able to advise you on the funding rules for your application and for making an application for bail.
Immigration detainee human rights
If you are being detained awaiting deportation or a decision on your immigration status and you think your human rights have been infringed, our immigration solicitors may be able to help you. Legal aid may be available in limited cases. To see whether you are eligible please contact one of our immigration lawyers.
We have a number of Immigration lawyers who are experts in the field of human rights and deal specifically with cases where individuals are deprived of their liberty.
