About our Services

Availability

All of the services provided by the RLC are provided subject to availability.

Our Services are Free

The Refugee Legal Centre is funded through two principle sources:

The Legal Service Commission (LSC), which funds the majority of our advice work.
Section 81 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, which provides funding for all asylum and human rights appeals work.

All individuals who approach the RLC for representation will be means tested.

Regulation

We are subject to the regulations of the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC).

The Refugee Legal Centre operates a strict confidentiality policy and any information provided to us by our clients will not be disclosed to any third party without consent from the client. Any individual or organisation that works with us on a client's case is also bound by the terms of our confidentiality policy.

Our London office is wheelchair accessible. We endeavour to provide for all special needs; please alert us to any special needs you may have. We provide interpreters and can arrange for home visits to be made.

The Refugee Legal Centre does not have the facility to assist in bail applications for detainees who are not being represented by us.

Equal Opportunities Policy

We are committed to promoting equal opportunities and will not discriminate on grounds of race, gender, religion, disability or sexual orientation in deciding whether to accept instructions from clients. We endeavour to provide an equal service to everyone, limited only by the availability of resources.
