CCLC has a new website! Use it to...

Access free legal information on topics relating to migrant and refugee children

Our new website features a whole selection of new fact sheets and resources on subjects that relate to migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking children and young people. The fact sheets cover such topics as asylum, immigration, EU law, nationality, access to local authority support, education and healthcare, and more. Each legal fact sheet also comes with an introduction to the topic for non-legal professionals, so we hope that there's something for everyone. Watch this space for more fact sheets and resources to be added soon!
 

Book training online

You can use our new website to look at our training calendar, commission our training, read about our Youth Rights Trainers and the courses they have developed, and book courses online. As well as courses on the rights and entitlements of separated asylum-seeking children, we run training on access to education, the rights of EU national children in the UK, supporting undocumented families and more. 
 

See the difference that we have made this year

Coram Children’s Legal Centre has provided legal advice and representation to children and families for over 35 years, and it can be nice to ring the changes! We've been compiling information on the difference we have made in the last year. If we have helped you or helped you to help others in recent years why not let us know? We would love to share feedback with staff members, so if you've got some then please do email mcp@coramclc.org.uk and tell us what you think. 
 
 

If you have queries about these or other issues, please contact our advice line on 0207 636 8505 or email mcp@coramclc.org.uk.
