Can’t Stay. Can’t Go. Refused asylum seekers who cannot be returned 39
5.2 Red Cross
The Red Cross should:
1. Use our relationships with government and
parliamentarians to help solicit responses from
embassies when people are failing to receive
attention.
2. Independently and in partnership with other
organisations operating in the sector, look to
develop an operational response that supports
service users during embassy appointments
for the purposes of gathering evidence of their
visit and to advocate on their behalf, when
appropriate.
3. Review our current policy of providing
12 weeks of destitution support and take
appropriate action to ensure the support we
offer is sufficient to deal with the long-term
destitution faced by this group.
4. Provide training for and raise awareness
among our staff and volunteers on the issue
of statelessness, including training on how
to apply for exceptional case funding for
Stateless applications.
5. Routinely capture data on this group to
support wider efforts to understand how many
refused asylum seekers there are who cannot
be returned.
