I am here against my will or fear abuse

How we can help you claim asylum

If you have not claimed asylum because you are here against your will, for example if you have been trafficked, or think you are at risk of violence or other abuse, please speak to us and we will try to help you or refer you to a specialist agency who will be able to help you.

If you would prefer to speak to a female or male adviser, we will do our best to arrange this. We can also try to find your preference of a female or male interpreter.

Call our office on 0800 085 6087 or come to our office and we will be able to get you the support you need. You can call this number free from landlines.

We can help you claim asylum if that is what you want to do. If you wish, we can also help you go to the police to report any crime or abuse you have suffered. The police in the UK are here to help you and to ensure your safety.
