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.
