Safeguarding a Key Skill in Immigration Work
Sonya King • Mar 28, 2023
Safeguarding Clients
A key part of our function at Lawson Hunte is Safeguarding vulnerable adults and children. One aspect of immigration work that should not be overlooked is the essential need to ensure the safety and welbeing of clients. Some of the necessary skills involved include the need to identify vulnerable adults early in the process to ensure that they receive the necessary support and protection. Vulnerable adults may include those with mental health issues, disabilities, or those who have experienced abuse, homelessness or exploitation. It is part of the questioning processes to ask client's whether they are fit and well and to probe to identify vulnerability. Always obtain your client's consent before providing advice, they might not always fully grasp the process they are in or the consequences of the actions they might take. We are cautious to advise sometimes with a support worker or family member present with the consent of the client. Support can take many forms, interpreters might be needed in circumstances where client's might not be able to afford one, country community organisations might be helpful in providing help. They might not be able to provide official licenced interpreters but you may be able to communicate with the the client. In other cases the need might be emotional support which we cannot always provide due to the need to be impartial and objective but referrals can be made to other support services.
It is always important to respect the wishes of your client, including their autonomy and to make every effort to provide them with options and process throughout your authorisation period. As with all cases, we ensure confidentiality and privacy rights are protected. If necessary, you might need to advise the SSHD of the vulnerability to access compassionate processing. The key is to monitor and notate the situation to avoid and avert making your client vulnerable.

The question is when is accommodation overcrowded. This is an important question when it comes to immigration and depends on a persons per room allowance given in the 1988 Housing Act. Examples of adequate accommodation could be for instance, in a 3 rooms could accommodate 5 persons; 4 rooms 7.5 persons ( I am not sure what the half a person represents) but hey! 5 rooms 10 people etc. For the purposes of the UKV decision maker - there are responsible for ensuring there is adequate accommodation to house the incoming migrant, alongside the Sponsor (if there is one) and their family. For these purposes a living room can be counted as a sleeping room. An example being a couple with one child over the age of one in a one bedroomed flat. An argument that the accommodation is adequate is possible. It is always wise to have accommodation inspected for the purposes of immigration to alleviate or lessen the risk of a refusal on the basis of insufficient evidence of adequate accommodation or inadequate accommodation. Also remember that age and gender are also considerations.
