Asylum Helpline
Get help by phone if you’re an asylum applicant or refugee and you need advice about the asylum process or adapting to life in the UK. Migrant Help will sign post to places in South Yorkshire to receive help.
You can use the helplines if:
- you’re an asylum seeker and you’ve just arrived in the UK
- you’ve just received the decision on your asylum application
- you’ve been successful in your asylum application and are building a new life in the UK
The asylum helplines can help with:
- housing problems
- questions about financial support
- dealing with agencies, such as social services
- finding English language classes
- questions about asylum support
- getting legal representation
- finding schools
- building a life in the UK if you’re given permission to stay here
- returning home
They may also be able to help if you’re:
- threatened or harmed by someone because of your race
- threatened or harmed by a member of your family
- the victim of a crime
- a witness to a crime
(24-hour service for emergencies)
