TACTIC provides unique training which focuses on practical ways to advise and assist people claiming asylum or who are in the UK illegally. TACTIC can also provide support to other organisations or community groups based around individual cases either through bespoke training or consultancy.

All our training and consultancy is delivered by TACTIC director, Sue Conlan, who has over 35 years’ experience in the field, as a practitioner and trainer.

Upcoming training

Information session – interviews & appeals

This information session is aimed at helping supporters, staff or volunteers, get a better understanding of the interview and appeals systems. It will also touch on what people should expect to get if they are paying privately for legal advice.

Overview: More than 50% of people claiming asylum in the UK do not have access to free legal advice and assistance. So they are forced to go through this difficult process without legal support.

In the absence of free legal advice and assistance, there are ways in which people supporting asylum seekers can provide information to help people prepare for and take part in asylum interviews and appeals.

Date: Tuesday 3 December

Time: 10.30 – 12.00

Place: on Zoom

Costs: £50 for up to 3 people
