Meaningful legal help in exercising rights is key to obtaining justice. Great to be reminded of the vital role that Law Centres play.

Yes, PM, we need to be "careful with the provisions we make for #legalaid" - careful that it doesn't implode. Because you've cut so much (£750m instead of the intended £350m) that you've impaired the service, and every year it helps fewer people! #accesstojustice

A year ago today, the gov agreed to reinstate legal aid for separated children in their immigration cases following a legal challenge by The Children's Society >>> thread childrenssociety.org.uk/news-and-blogs… via The Children's Society

This week we celebrate the fantastic legal team, our supporters & partners that made this possible @paulebowen Islington Law Centre MiCLU @michelleknorr DSC Immigration team Brick Court Chambers @RCCUK MigrantChildren CCLC Public Law Project 🧡 ATLEU Just for Kids Law ILPA

But we also urge the gov to make sure the change is implemented as soon as possible so that children can access this vital safety net without further delay #legalaid #bestinterests >> read more about this in our blog childrenssociety.org.uk/news-and-blogs…

(Day 23 of 30) universal declaration of #HumanRights - #EqualPay Just & favourable conditions - 71 yrs ago the uk drafted these!!! ⁦@LeisaT4WE⁩ ⁦@TimMorton2⁩ ⁦Barbara Weed⁩ ⁦BBC Woman's Hour⁩

So important that children can get specialist legal assistance for cases which will have implications for the rest of their lives.

One of the many flaws of Universal Credit (UC) is that it's NOT universal. Claimants often don't realise they need to apply separately for Council Tax Support (CTS). So, Islington Council has just written to 726 UC claimants who are not currently on CTS to urge them to apply for it...

AMAZING work from Islington Law Centre for a member of the Migrants Organise family. Asylum appeal finally won after 5 years of fighting for Albanian care leaver. Best news and down to the most excellent representation. (Fingers crossed no HO appeal)

Thanks to Islington Law Centre MiCLU for taking #SixThings to this ILPA conference on children's rights. It's been great to share experiences of young people at All4One with young people you support with Shpresa Programme. gmiau.org/six-things-gui…

Sean Coughlan @CityUniSU NUS UK @Unipol After 6 months of campaigning with support of NUS UK + Islington Law Centre, @CityUniSU took the provider to a tribunal where they were found to be in breach of their accreditation.
