Detail:

No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF)

Royal Borough of Greenwich has an Integrated Specialist Team working with destitute people from abroad who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).

By NRPF we mean someone who is subject to immigration control who has no entitlement to welfare benefits, to Home Office asylum support for asylum seekers or to public housing.

The NRPF Team advises people on their personal circumstances and seeks to find a solution to their destitution. In exceptional circumstances the council provide care services, including accommodation and financial support.

This short briefing session will give practitioners a better understanding of the NRPF Team & the work that they do

The session will last about 90 minutes, which also allows for a short Q&A session
