What is this service?

NRPF/IMMIGRATION REMOTE SURGERY FOR PROFESSIONALS

We are running a remote online advice surgery for agencies and professionals who work with clients/users who have immigration problems and are subject to No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF).

The surgery takes place every Wednesday between 10.00 am to 11.00 am. It is conducted by OISC level 2 qualified staff.

The surgery will be useful to agencies looking for additional support/advice for their clients/users and will help to build their capacity to work in this area.
