A new appeals system

A single-appeal model run by a new body, aimed at speeding up cases the government sees as unlikely to succeed. This risks reducing independent oversight of complex, life-or-death decisions.

New “safe and legal routes”

Details are vague, but the Home Secretary says these routes will be capped, “modest”, and based on community sponsorship - similar to the Homes for Ukraine scheme.

AI in age assessments

The Home Office already uses AI to summarise interviews and case info.

This plan proposes using AI facial scanning in age disputes, raising big questions about accuracy, ethics and fairness, this kind of tech is notoriously unreliable when used on Black and Brown people.

More large sites and military bases

The government plans to expand the use of large-scale sites for asylum accommodation, despite reems of evidence that large sites will cost more, and cause profound and irreparable harm to residents.

• No support for people allowed to work but currently unemployed

• A “contributions” system where people with small savings or income pay towards their own asylum support

It would create an increasingly complex and bureaucratic system which risks leaving people in poverty.

A new “Protection Work and Study Visa”

The plans suggest people could “earn” settlement faster by switching to a new visa route if they can work or study “at an appropriate level” and pay a fee.

It creates a 2-tier system where people who are unable to take up work or education would be excluded.

A 20-year road to settlement

Right now, refugees can apply for indefinite leave after 5 years.

Under these proposals, they would need to wait 20. That's two decades of instability, repeated assessments, and continued fear of being forced back to danger. This insecurity causes poor mental health.

Introducing “Core Protection”

People granted asylum would get only 2.5 years of leave to remain, not the current 5 years.

Each period would then be reassessed based on if it’s “safe” for them to return. This will leave people in a constant state of possible deportation and create instability.

The headline plan?

An end to permanent resettlement for refugees in the UK.

The government wants to replace our current model with something similar to Denmark’s: temporary, more limited protection instead of a clear route to permanent safety.
