Policy & Campaigns

Project 17 aims to address longer term, systemic problems with the implementation of support for families with no recourse to public funds.

We do this by:

• Raising the profile of the problems families with NRPF experience;
• Engaging with local authorities, decision makers and politicians;
• Supporting families to advocate for improved support; and
• Engaging in strategic litigation
