Section 55
The impact of section 55 on the Inter-Agency Partnership of leading UK refugee agencies and the asylum seekers it supports [February 2004]
Since its implementation on 8 January 2003, Section 55 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 led to significant change within the Asylum Support Programme. In response, the Chief Executives of leading UK refugee agencies carried out research to assess the impact that section 55 has had both on asylum seekers and the services that their agencies provide. The aim was to collect and collate evidence in relation to policy on section 55, monitor decisions made under section 55, and to evaluate procedures and systems put in place to implement the legislation on the basis of cost, time and resources.
