IMMIGRATION LAW
Asylum & Protection
RakLAW asylum solicitors advise on asylum claims, humanitarian protection, fresh claims, protection status, family-route questions and asylum refusals.
About Asylum & Protection
RakLAW Solicitors provides clear, sensitive and practical advice for people seeking protection in the UK. Our asylum solicitors and lawyers can assist with asylum claims, humanitarian protection, fresh claims and further submissions, protection-status reviews, family-route questions and Home Office decisions affecting people who fear returning to their country. Asylum cases are highly personal and can involve difficult experiences, urgent safety concerns and complex evidence. The outcome depends on the individual facts, the reason for the feared harm, the protection available in the country of origin and whether the legal requirements are met.
Who this is for
- People fearing persecution or serious harm if returned
- Survivors of trafficking, slavery or serious exploitation
- Refused applicants needing fresh claims or appeals

-
Claim Asylum in the UK
If you fear persecution in your home country because of your race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group, you may be able to claim asylum in the UK.
-
Asylum Support
Asylum support is the housing and basic financial help provided by the Home Office to asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute.
-
Fresh Asylum Claim and Further Submissions
If your asylum claim has been refused and appeal rights are exhausted, you may still be able to submit further submissions or a fresh claim where there is significant new evidence or a change in country conditions.
-
Humanitarian Protection
Humanitarian protection is granted to people who do not qualify as refugees under the Refugee Convention but who would face a real risk of serious harm if returned to their country, such as the death penalty, torture, or indiscriminate violence in armed conflict.
-
Home Office Travel Document
Refugees, those with humanitarian protection, and some stateless people cannot use their national passport and instead need a Home Office travel document to travel abroad.
-
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
Survivors of modern slavery and human trafficking are entitled to identification and support through the National Referral Mechanism, which can lead to decisions on whether someone is recognised as a victim.
-
Temporary Permission to Stay for Victims of Trafficking or Slavery
Confirmed victims of modern slavery or trafficking may be granted temporary permission to stay in the UK where it is necessary, for example to assist their recovery from physical or psychological harm, to cooperate with criminal investigations, or to seek compensation.
