Thanks for your interest in ASAN. Please read the ASAN rules before registering your details.
Purpose and Principals
ASAN is a national network of people who help asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers and irregular migrants access food and shelter. ASAN is coordinated by the Asylum Support Appeals Project. Members are from voluntary sector organisations, funding bodies, law firms and government bodies, such as the NHS. Home Office and Local Authority Social Services staff are excluded from membership. ASAN was established with the aim of sharing knowledge and experience about legal rights to food and shelter for asylum seekers, refused asylum seekers and irregular migrants.
How it works
· All ASAN members are part of a googlegroup which allows any member to email the whole network to share information and pose or answer questions from other members. See the googlegroup house rules.
· ASAP’s quarterly Asylum Support Bulletins are circulated via the googlegroup.
· ASAP shares updates on asylum support law, policy and practice via the googlegroup as they arise.
· ASAN members share relevant information with each other via the googlegroup as they arise.
· At least three ASAN meetings are held each year to learn from expert guest speakers and discuss issues affecting ASAN’s beneficiaries.
