Praxis and the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) reveal the harmful impacts of being excluded from childcare support on migrant families in the new report - Every Child is Equal, Bridging the Childcare Gap for families with No Recourse to Public Funds (NPRF).

This joint briefing, supported by over 70 organisations, sets out the key drivers of migrant homelessness and how hostile immigration policies drive families into destitution and homelessness. It outlines what policies this government should implement to end migrant homelessness.

No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) is an immigration policy that prevents most migrants in the UK from accessing most forms of welfare support, regardless of whether they are working or have been here a long time. This briefing sets out the impact of this policy on communities, on local authorities, and our recommended changes.

In this joint briefing with Migrant Voice, British in Europe & Reunite Families UK, we examine the proposed changes to the Minimum Income Requirement (MIR) and highlight the impacts that the rules have on the families and children who are currently separated.

In this joint briefing with Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit (GMIAU) and the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) we set out the potential impacts of the increased salary threshold for family joiners. In particular, we highlight how families who do not meet the financial requirements of the Immigration Rules but may be recognised as having a human rights based claim to enter or remain in the UK could be affected.

Praxis recently submitted evidence to the Women and Equalities Committee inquiry into women and the cost of living crisis, focusing on the ways in which No Recourse to Public Funds immigration policy affects women.

Praxis, in collaboration with allies submitted evidence to the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee in October 2023 regarding the Government's proposal to increase the fees for a range of visa and nationality applications.

This briefing sets out how tens of thousands of families with No Recourse to Public Funds in the UK are locked out of most government support with the costs of childcare by their immigration status.

Together with JCWI, Reunite Families, Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit, Migrant Voice and RAMFEL, Praxis has produced a joint briefing about why nobody should have to wait a decade or more for security and stability, and why it’s vital that routes to settlement are capped at 5 years.

Government immigration policies are denying thousands of people whose lives and futures are in the UK the certainty they need to belong here, making them wait a decade or more for secure immigration status, with damaging consequences for their ability to integrate, look after their families and be self-sufficient.
