Migrant & Refugee Children’s Legal Unit (MiCLU)

Grant: £81,400
August 8, 2014

This charity aims to relieve poverty by providing legal advice, aid, assistance and other services relating to issues in any court of law or tribunal or enquiry having jurisdiction in England and Wales. It especially targets children and young people subject to immigration control in the UK. The charity places the child at the centre of training initiatives through a child’s rights based legal framework (underpinned by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) to help raise awareness of child rights-based immigration law and to enhance individual knowledge/skills. The LEF grant will assist a three phase project to analyse, train and share knowledge on issues that affect this highly vulnerable group of young people.
